The Blue Jays hire Sam Greene as their new assistant pitching coach
MLB insider Ben Nicholson-Smith announced that the Blue Jays hired Sam Green as their new assistant pitching coach after serving as a senior pitching research analyst for Toronto in 2024.
Greene, 27, served as the Blue Jays senior pitching research specialist for the Blue Jays in 2024. He has been a member of the organization since 2021. Formerly a pitcher at McGill University, Greene graduated with a master's degree in Management in Analytics. -Sportsnet
This could be a solid hire for the Blue Jays pitching analytics since Greene has a masters from McGill University in Management in analytics which means he might be helpful when looking at their pitchers numbers.
The Blue Jays coaching staff is now fully complete for the 2025 season after they have officially hired Iannotti as their assistant hitting coach and Johnson as their bullpen coach.
Johnson replaces Jeff Ware as Toronto's bullpen coach, joining the Blue Jays after serving the last three seasons with the New York Yankees' triple-A affiliate.
Ionnatti, meanwhile, comes from the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, where he was a hitting co-ordinator. He had spent the previous seven years with the Dodgers, holding various coaching and co-ordinator roles with the reigning World Series champions. -Sportsnet
