Jim Brower has toured plenty of minor-league ballparks across the United States the past six seasons as a pitching instructor.
But the Seattle Mariners are giving him more a permanennt home.
On Tuesday, the organization hired Brower, 44, as a general assistant coach under manager Scott Servais for next season.
Brower spent the past two seasons as the Chicago Cubs’ minor-league pitching coordinator.
The Minnesota native had a nine-year career in the big leagues with eight different organizations — the last being the New York Yankees in 2007.
Kansas City gave Brower his first coaching job in 2011 as the pitching coach for Single-A Kane County.
