Williamsport team during the summer. It was his first managing job after
retiring as a player.
“It’s a pretty big step, but (player development director) Joe Jordan was real
adamant about his ability to grow in that spot. He pushed him pretty hard,”
Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said about Tracy.
