SEATTLE, Wash. — Mariners General Manager Jerry Dipoto and Mariners Manager Scott Servais announced today that the team has hired Jared Sandberg as the club’s new Major League Field Coordinator.
“Jared brings a lot of experience in building relationships with young players, having managed successful teams in Durham,” Dipoto said. “He has a demonstrated track record of using a wide expanse of tools, from data analytics to sports psychology to traditional baseball education, and allowing each of those things to affect his decision-making. We think he is going to impact our staff in the ability to create order, deliver messages and convey plans, both among our staff and our players.
