Mariners General Manager Jerry Dipoto and Manager Scott Servais announced today that Brian Delunas has been added to the Major League coaching staff as the Bullpen Coach.
“We view Brian as a connector,” Dipoto said. “Taking the bio-mechanical view of a pitcher, connecting with the analytical view, connecting again with the emotional/psychological angle and then how to reach players in today’s times. His experiences from the collegiate coaching level to running his own program in and around St. Louis to working with high-end professional players — like our own David Phelps and others — it led us to a guy with a really interesting background in how to coach and improve today’s pitchers.
