The Philadelphia Phillies have made adjustments to their major league coaching staff after being eliminated from the postseason. One of these changes is the promotion of Cesár Ramos, who served as the pitching coach for the minor league team Lehigh Valley IronPigs, to the role of bullpen coach for the big league club. Ramos, aged 39, replaces the former bullpen coach, Dave Lundquist.
Ramos, a former MLB relief pitcher, has been part of the Phillies organization since 2017 when he ended his playing career with the IronPigs. During his time with the IronPigs, he made 40 appearances, including 11 starts, and achieved a 4.00 ERA with a 5-4 record, along with one save in 92 1/3 innings.
