When you constantly finish around the bottom of your division for as long as the Phillies have, as an organization, you pretty much have to consider everything.
The Phillies, who have finished fourth in the NL East five straight years now, are thinking a little outside the box when it comes to bettering their record for the 2018 season.
Are you a former college or high school left-handed pitcher than can still somewhat spot the strike zone? Do you still have big league aspirations? Would a job as a batting practice pitcher interest you?
Well, you’re in luck, as the Phillies are looking for someone to throw BP to their batters.
Straight from the Phillies website, here’s the qualifications you need:
- Be at least 21 years old
- Be able to efficiently throw a baseball left-handed with precision accuracy and moderate pace
- Some previous experience at the high school, college or professional level preferred (but not required)
- Be available on all Phillies home game dates at Citizens Bank Park (exact hours TBD)
- Must be a selfless team player who wants to contribute to bringing a World Series Championship to Philadelphia
This is a part-time paid position. Please completely fill out the form below. You must include a YouTube link to a maximum one-minute video showcasing your skills.
If you think you still got it, and meet all of the requirements, then why not give it a shot? What’s the worst they can tell you? You have a spaghetti arm and that you should go back to your “C” division softball beer league? Besides, you never know where a job like this could lead you, and you get to tell your friends you're a big leaguer...sort of.
