In this piece, a TBOH series that Ryan Gerstel and I have been presenting over the last couple of weeks will continue with my look at Mickey Morandini, who enters his first year on the Major League staff as the Phillies’ first base coach.
As most fans of the Phillies’ already knows well, Morandini is a former 2nd baseman for the Fightins, having played with the club from 1990-1997. The Kittaning, Pennsylvania native was drafted by the Phils in the 5th round of the 1988 MLB Amateur Draft out of Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.
