Phillies announce hiring of new assistant pitching coach

The Phillies announced the hiring of Mark Lowy as assistant pitching coach. He assumes the position vacated when Brian Kaplan was tabbed as Diamondbacks pitching coach on Tuesday.

Lowy moves onto an MLB staff for the first time. The 32-year-old had spent the ’24 season as Philadelphia’s lead pitching development analyst. Lowy has worked in the Phils’ player-development department since 2021. After pitching at Gettysburg College, he worked at the independent training facility Cressey Sports Performance before joining the Phils.

Caleb Cotham is entering his fifth season as Philadelphia’s pitching coach. Lowy joins Cotham and bullpen coach Cesár Ramos on the pitching side of Rob Thomson’s staff.
