Phillies announce new assistant pitching coach after Brian Kaplan’s departure

The Phillies have promoted Mark Lowy to assistant pitching coach, the team announced Wednesday.

The announcement comes a day after former assistant pitching coach and director of pitching development Brian Kaplan left the club to become the pitching coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Lowy, 32, has been in the Phillies organization since 2021. He started as a part-time employee in the club’s player development department before being hired full time as a pitching development analyst in 2022. He worked as an upper-level pitching coordinator in 2023 before shifting over to the major league club in 2024 as the lead pitching development analyst.
