On Tuesday, the San Francisco Giants made a personnel move, as they announced that J.P. Martinez had been hired as assistant pitching coach. Martinez will take the spot of Ethan Katz, who left the position to join Tony La Russa’s staff on the Chicago White Sox.
Martinez is 38, and had been employed as the Minnesota Twins assistant pitching coordinator since 2018. He’d spent more than six years working in the Twins Minor League system.
