With multiple trades made this past offseason plus the previous few drafts, the Mariners have assembled a large group talented young outfield prospects throughout their organization. To supplement their growth and development, they made a notable hire to help the process.
On Friday, the organization announced that former Mariner outfielder Mike Cameron has been added to the player development staff. Cameron’s official title is “special assignment coach.” His responsibilities will include working with Mariners prospects at all levels of the organization, with a focus on outfield defense and baserunning. Besides working with minor league players, Cameron will spend some time working with the big league team.
