Mattingly’s Phillies reboot centers on bunting, lineup balance, and a steadier pace.
Interim Phillies manager Don Mattingly is reshaping the club with a focus on fundamentals like bunting, smarter lineup construction, and keeping players in a regular rhythm while blending analytics with his own baseball philosophy. He aims to stress opposing hitters with a balanced lineup, avoid panic during a 10-19 start, and improve in-game decisions and staff collaboration, including adjustments to the coaching group and pregame planning.
