Things can change very quickly in baseball, and Philadelphia Phillies minor-league hitting coordinator Jason Ochart has seen that to be true over the past few days.
Just this past weekend, Ochart was preparing for the organization’s minor-league spring training in Clearwater, Florida, to start up after the cancellation of last year’s season at that level. By Tuesday, he had arrived in Allentown, Pennsylvania, one day ahead of the first workout at the team’s alternate training site for players not in the majors.
There Ochart will be working to help fix Scott Kingery, the struggling former prospect who was demoted to the alternate site on Sunday.
