For years Gary Denbo has been a name unknown to most fans of baseball. He’s still no household name, but many Yankees fans with more than a passing interest in the sport have come to associate him with success and progress. As the organization’s Vice President of Player Development, Denbo has been a huge part of the team’s current success, and now it’s likely he might get hired away.
He joined the Yankees organization in the early ‘90s as a hitting coach and manager, working with Derek Jeter before he reached the majors. After a stint with the major league team in 2001, Denbo toured around the world as a coach and a scout before returning to the Yankees as a player development consultant.
