Who is Bryan Price?

He's the guy rumored to be the next pitching coach of the Phillies. He's got a pretty solid resume.

Price spent 5 years as pitching coach for the Seattle Mariners from 2001 to 2006. In 2001, the Mariners pitching staff recorded an AL-best ERA of 3.54, which earned him USA Today Baseball Weekly's Coach of the Year Award. That team won 116 games and included some names Phillies fans might remember, like Freddy Garcia, Jamie Moyer, and Joel Piniero.

He coached the Arizona Diamondbacks pitchers in 2007 and 2008 and part of 2009. Baseball America named him Major League Coach of the Year in 2007 when his pitchers posted the fourth-best ERA in the National League. His staff featured Livan Hernandez, Brandon Webb, and 206-year-old Randy Johnson.

He was pitching coach for the Reds from 2010 to 2013. The 2010 and 2012 teams won the NL Central behind starters Bronson Arroyo and Johnny Cueto. He managed the Reds from 2014 through April 2018.

Price had a lot of success without having marquee pitchers, something that could bode well for the Phillies. It would be nice to see a pitching coach craft something out of nothing.
