PHIL ROSSI

Hitting Coach

Phil Rossi has built a distinguished career as a professional baseball scout spanning more than four decades, making him a respected figure in talent evaluation across several Major League organizations. After a short stint as a minor league infielder in the late 1970s, Rossi transitioned into scouting, where he truly made his mark on the game.

He served the Boston Red Sox from 1981 to 1997, the New York Yankees from 1997 to 2000, the Cleveland Indians from 2000 to 2005, and then the Florida Marlins/Miami Marlins beginning in 2006 until 2022. Over the course of his scouting work, Rossi was instrumental in identifying and signing players such as John Marzano and Frank Herrmann, contributing directly to the cultivation of big-league talent.

Although originally drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 1977 and playing two seasons of minor league ball, Rossi’s lasting impact on professional baseball has come overwhelmingly through his decades of dedicated scouting work, where his eye for potential and deep knowledge of the game have been his defining legacy.
