11/15/26 : Phillies sign RHP Geoff Hartlieb to minor league contract
Thirty two year old RHP Geoff Hartlieb has signed a minor league contract with the Phillies and has been assigned to Lehigh Valley. He was the 2016 29th round draft selection of the Pittsburgh Pirates from Lindenwood University in Missouri.
The 6’5” hurler pitched last season for the Athletics appearing in 18 games (28 IP) with a 4.82 ERA posting 22 strikeouts and 14 walks. He’s pitched in 86 major league games as a reliever from 2019 to 2026 with the Pirates, Mets, Marlins, Rockies, Yankees, Tigers and Athletics logging 110.2 IP.
Hartlieb has also pitched in 331 minor league games (476 IP) with a 3.80 ERA. He played for AAA Las Vegas in 2026 appearing in 27 games (48.1 IP) with a 3.35 ERA recording 53 K’s against 15 walks.
He delivers from a 3/4 arm slot with a four seamer in the 93-95 mph range, a slider, cutter and sinker. The slider is his most used secondary pitch. In the minors he’s been used at the backend of games, in the majors as a middle reliever. He’s out of minor league options and is expected to be a big league spring training invite.
From a fan’s view welcome to the organization Geoff!
