Fightin Phils Announce Promotions for Angel Martinez and Kyle Serman

(Reading, PA) - The Reading Fightin Phils, Double-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, are excited to announce the promotions of Angel Martinez to Director of Stadium Operations and Kyle Serman to Accountant/Office Manager.

Martinez is entering his seventh season with the Fightin Phils, as he was hired as a R-Phils Intern in 2019. Prior to the 2023 season, he was promoted to Food and Beverage/Operations Manager. Martinez graduated from Mount St. Mary's in 2022 with a degree in Sports Management. Prior to college, Martinez, a Reading native, attended Wilson High school.

During the season, Martinez' role will consist of getting the stadium ready on gamedays. That consists of making sure the concessions, bars and more are fully stocked for fans, in addition to ensuring the point-of-sale systems are working. He will also contribute to the operations department in helping fix and maintain America's Classic Ballpark on a daily basis. On the food and beverage side, Martinez will assist in managing all of the food & beverage game staff employees.

Serman began with the Fightin Phils in the fall of 2023 as an Accounting Intern and serve as the team's Accountant, while now adding Office Manager to his role. In his role, Serman worked to record and pay invoices, receive and record receivables, compile daily, weekly and monthly reports, along with overseeing the gameday 50-50 and much more. Serman comes from just outside of Allentown as he graduated from Northampton Area High School in 2017. He then attended Moravian College, where he was a member of the baseball team, and majored in accounting, graduating in 2021.

Before being hired full-time by the Fightin Phils, Martinez and Serman worked as interns with Reading. The R-Phils strong internship program has resulted in many of our current full-time staff. 28 of the 31 front office staff members started their career as an R-Phils intern. The best way to get your start in Baseballtown is to join us for an internship or game staff position. Reading is hiring interns for the 2026 season NOW and more information can be found HERE.
