“We are extremely excited to bring Shelley Duncan back to the organization where he began his professional journey – and specifically back to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre where he had tremendous success and was part of the 2009 International League Championship club,” Yankees director of player development Kevin Reese said in a release. “Shelley’s knowledge as well as his experiences growing up in the game, as a player and as a coach will serve our players well.
