Former MLB manager Don Mattingly has outlined a new strategic plan for Philadelphia Phillies stars Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper ahead of the 2027 season, according to a report from The Big Lead.

The details of the plan were not disclosed in the initial report, but Mattingly's involvement suggests a focus on optimizing the duo's offensive production and defensive alignment.

Mattingly, a former New York Yankees captain and Miami Marlins manager, has previously worked as a hitting coach and bench coach in the league.

The Phillies are looking to build on recent playoff appearances, with Schwarber and Harper serving as cornerstones of the lineup.
