The Philadelphia Phillies have announced the hiring of Mark Lowy as their new assistant pitching coach for the 2025 MLB season. Lowy, who has built a reputation as one of baseball’s most innovative pitching minds, joins the Phillies’ coaching staff with the goal of bolstering the team’s pitching performance and player development.
Lowy comes to Philadelphia after serving as a pitching strategist for the Tampa Bay Rays, where he contributed to the team’s reputation for maximizing pitcher potential through data analytics and biomechanics. Known for his ability to blend traditional coaching methods with cutting-edge technology, Lowy has played a pivotal role in developing young talent and revitalizing struggling pitchers.
Phillies manager Rob Thomson expressed his enthusiasm about the addition, saying, “Mark brings a wealth of knowledge and a fresh perspective to our staff. His experience and approach align perfectly with our goals for the upcoming season.”
The Phillies, who made the playoffs in 2024 but fell short of a World Series appearance, are looking to strengthen their pitching staff to compete at the highest level in 2025. Lowy’s expertise in pitcher development and game preparation is expected to be a key asset as the team aims for another deep postseason run.
Lowy’s hiring is part of a broader effort by the Phillies to invest in their coaching staff and player performance, emphasizing analytics and innovation to maintain competitiveness in theNL East.
