On Thursday the Seattle Mariners named their new coaching staff under manager Scott Servais. Two of there staff members from last season were not retained.
Perry Hill returns as the first base coach as well as the infield coach for the second season.
Manny Acta who had been the bench coach returns to third base coach. I expect he will be working with the outfielders as well.
Pete Woodworth is the new pitching coach. Last year he was the pitching coach at double-A Arkansas so he knows a number of the young pitchers. A good way to get those pitchers to perform at a higher level along with knowing their strengths and weaknesses.
Brian DeLunas returns as bullpen coach after a season off in another position dealing with the pitchers.
Tim Laker returns as the hitting coach for the second season.
Jarret DeHart a new guy on the scene will be the assistant hitting coach with Laker.
Jared Sandberg in his second season in the Mariners organization is now the Mariners bench coach.
Carson Vitale is now the Mariner major league field coordinator. I believe the position Sandberg had last year.
Ichiro Suzuki not sure what is position will be with the Mariners this coming season; however, likely will do the same job he did last year except he has retired from playing ball. LOL
These are all the guys that will be surrounding manager Scott Servais next season. Go M's.
