The last we saw Kevin Long, the now-former Washington Nationals’ hitting coach and Nats’ slugger Juan Soto were in Dodger Stadium, cheering on former teammates Max Scherzer and Trea Turner as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Wild Card Game. How did that trip (and those seats!?) come about? Long told reporters, as he was introduced as the Philadelphia Phillies’ new hitting coach on Wednesday afternoon, that it was Soto’s idea to go to LA, so he decided to accompany the 22-year-old outfielder.
