The Orioles still haven't finalized their minor league coaching staffs, but with just a few weeks left before spring training, they didn't have to look too far to fill one of their vacancies.
Tom Eller, the longtime baseball coach at Harford Community College, announced on Twitter on Monday that he is leaving ahead of his 13th season with the Fighting Owls to join the Orioles as a minor league hitting coach, though his official role is unclear.
Since taking over at Harford in 2007, Eller has racked up accolades in building a strong program. He won his 400th game last season and has earned five Region XX titles, winning the Maryland Junior College Coach of the Year award four times.
