With just about two months to go until Opening Day, the Orioles finally announced their 2019 coaching staff on Wednesday evening, making official the scattered reported hires that have been made by Mike Elias, Brandon Hyde, and company throughout the last month or so.
The coaches and their roles are as follows:
- Arnie Beyeler - First Base Coach
- Tim Cossins - Major League Field Coordinator/Catching Instructor
- Don Long - Hitting Coach
There are some holdovers from within the organization on this coaching staff after all. Clark was the assistant hitting coach under Buck Showalter for the past two seasons, while Wasdin served as the Orioles minor league pitching coordinator for the prior two years before getting bumped up to the MLB staff under the new regime.
