Mitch Maier may be finished playing, but he and the Royals weren't ready to part ways. He's now a coach, currently on assignment with the Omaha Storm Chasers.
Mitch Maier, known around these parts as simply "MITCH!" played most of his professional career with the Kansas City Royals organization. Drafted in 2003, Maier moved through the minors and made his MLB debut in 2006. He split time between Omaha and Kansas City most years, except 2011, when he was with Kansas City the entire season but played so infrequently he may as well have been at summer camp.
