Despite another playoff failure, Phillies' hitting coach Kevin Long and his staff, along with manager Rob Thomson, will retain their positions and even receive contract extensions, according to team officials. The team, which led the NL in hitting and won its most games in over a decade, faced criticism after their postseason exit.
The team led the NL in hitting last season and won its most games in 14 years, but after another playoff collapse, the fans wanted blood. Fortunately, they didn't get any of K-Long's or Topper's.“Rob, you’ve won your second straight division title, more games than the previous season for the fourth year in a row, and the most since 2011.
”“Kevin, the team led the National League in hitting, you had the NL batting champion and the home run and RBI champion.”In all sports, repeated postseason failures usually result in scapegoats. Football is the worst, but baseball isn’t far behind, and only occasionally does the problem lie with the head coach or with the top assistants.’s 2025 season was not “elite.” The other news of the day: Dombrowski said that Thomson not only would not be fired but soon would get a contract extension. These bombshells obscured Dombrowski’s review of Long and his staff. “Kevin Long’s an exceptionally good hitting coach,” Dombrowski said of Long and his assistants, Rafael Pena and Dustin Lind. “Can always get better, right? Nobody’s perfect, by any means, but I think they’re very good.”Good enough that, while at spring training, a top executive from another team told me, “Yeah, let them fire him. He’d be hired by somebody else in 15 minutes.”Maybe the hitting staff wasn’t smart enough to beat the Dodgers, who muted the Phillies’ bats in the National League Division Series, but then, the Dodgers’ pitching staff included Shohei Ohtani, Blake Snell, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and they’d stashed 100-mph Roki Sasaki in the bullpen. The Dodgers won their second consecutive Maybe they weren’t good enough in 2024, when the Phillies flailed against the Mets in another, more painful four-game NLDS loss.But they were very good in getting there, and, frankly, there’s very little the hitting staff and the manager can do in a playoff series to affect the performance of a group of hitters after 162 games. It’s like asking an NBA team of bricklayers to suddenly start dropping three-pointers.. If Stott and Bohm suddenly have cases of slider-itis, it’s not because Long & Co. didn’t identify and address it.into more of a pure contact hitter and to do so at the age of 31. The result: Turner’s second career batting title. Long helped him win the first one, too, in 2021, the year that ended their astoundingly productive, four-year cotenancy in Washington. “He kind of changed my career in ’18,” Turner said. “I kind of struggled. Was trying to find more power but kind of doing it incorrectly. And then in ’19, I kind of figured out how to drive the ball the other way. That helped me out a lot to not kind of leak and cheat and all that.” Come 2025, as Thomson penciled Turner into the leadoff spot more often, Turner hit a two-month slide that began in early June. He needed recalibration. Long was there. “I felt more consistent making adjustments, and those are conversations that we had each and every day. You know, nothing drastic,” Turner said. “We just did a better job of not overreacting, trying too many different things, just keeping it simple. That definitely helped me be more consistent last year. And that’s always what I want.” Phillies prospect Aidan Miller’s back blocks his path; was Daniel Robert’s heart issue a false alarm? The secret, said Schwarber, is that Long understands his audience. Some hitters need input that purely addresses mechanics; some need to concentrate on anticipating how pitchers will attack them. “Half the battle is, you have to be a mental coach. You have to know your players,” Schwarber said. “You have to know what makes them click, what makes them turn on.”“He makes you laugh, and you rocket off and get three hits or whatever. Get out of your own way a little bit,” Schwarber said. “I feel like that’s what he’s really good at — knowing his guys and knowing what makes them click.” Long knows what makes Schwarber tick. Schwarber hit 121 home runs and had an .816 OPS in six seasons with the Cubs before he met Long in Washington. He’s hit 219 home runs with an .867 OPS in the five seasons since, he’s won two NL home run titles, and has signed two contracts with the Phillies worth a total of $249 million. “He changed my career,” Schwarber said. “When I got with him in 2021, there were a lot of things that we tried to change, adjust, knowing that it would be a process. We were able to start with the extreme, then got to a place that I felt very comfortable. That’s what got me here to Philadelphia.”Schwarber was 32 and hadn’t regularly hit No. 2 since his rookie season in 2015. The result: Schwarber led the league with a career-high 56 home runs, led all of baseball with a career-high 132 RBIs, and finished second to Ohtani in MVP voting . Phillies daycare cornerstones Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm grow up a little bit more at spring training Thomson hinted over the winter that he might move Harper to No. 2 and protect him with Schwarber at No. 3. That won’t happen any time soon. “We had a lot of success with it last year,” said Thomson, who acknowledged that Harper and Schwarber told him they would rather stay in their current lineup spots. But, as with last season, nothing is promised: “We’re open to making some moves.” None of the moves will matter if the Phillies don’t start winning again in October. Schwarber understands that the hitting coach and the manager are going to feel some heat when, over the last three years, your team scores three or fewer runs in eight of its last 10 playoff games, all of which the Phillies lost. “I’m not making excuses,” Schwarber said, “but I’m a realist. You’re going to face the best pitch in baseball in postseason. It’s hard.” It’s hard to win division titles, too. It’s harder when two of the best players in franchise history are absent, diminished, or both.Harper wasn’t himself, either. He started the season with a wrist issue that began in May 2024 and never improved. It finally landed him on the injured list in early June 2025, cost him about a month of play, and, logically, cost him some strength and his sense of the strike zone. He returned healthy, but his chase rate of 35.6% sabotaged his season. It was the second-worst chase rate of his career.Do Not Sell My Data
