Central Coast Phillies deepen youth pipeline in Paso Robles under Stewart and Smith
Founded in 2020, Central Coast Phillies operate in Paso Robles with a long-term player-development focus and multiple age-group teams from 9U upward [1].The coaching group is headlined by owners Elliot Stewart and Alec Smith, with Stewart serving as catching coach as well as Mission College Prep head coach and a Philadelphia Phillies associate scout. Kyle Marinconz supports as a 14U assistant and director of player development, alongside a staff that includes Connor Maydole, Nick Marinconz, Armando Ramirez, Bob Botello, Steve Harrow, Jackson Gomes, and Brad Tews [2].The program’s footprint is visible on national event platforms: Perfect Game team pages list Paso Robles entries with rosters and events for the 2024 and 2025 cycles [3][4]. A 9U D3 team page on PlayNCS logs an 11–9–0 season record for that entry [5], while a FiveTool profile details a 2025 fall team with player listings and staff information [6].On the media side, the club maintains an active Instagram presence and posts regular training and game content, including a September 17, 2025 training session and summer 2025 uploads from Paso Robles [7][8][9][10].
