A week after letting Rick Sofield as the the outfield/third base coach and re-assigning first base coach Nick Leyva, the Pittsburgh Pirates have finalized the changes to their coaching staff. One of the moves that was announced, however, is one that was already known. And that move is the hiring of their third base coach.
As expected, Joey Cora has been named the team’s new third base coach. Cora will also be the infield coach, replacing Leyva in that role. You can read more about Cora here.
Joining Cora on the staff will be Tom Prince and Kimera Bartee.
