Bryan Price has stepped down as the full-time Phillies pitching coach after just one season with the team.
The Philadelphia Phillies suddenly have another crucial vacancy that they will need to fill this offseason. Sunday afternoon, the team announced that Bryan Price has “retired from a full-time coaching capacity.” According to NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Jim Salisbury, this was solely a “personal decision.”
With Price stepping down, the 2021 season will mark the fifth different Phillies pitching coach in as many years — with the new coach joining Price (2020), Chris Young (2019), Rick Kranitz (2018), and Bob McClure (2017).
