The Rockies announced the 2022 coaching staff for Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, bringing back Warren Schaeffer for a second season as manager while also tabbing former Colorado infielder Jordan Pacheco as hitting coach.
Albuquerque’s staff is rounded out by bench coach Pedro Lopez and pitching coach Frank Gonzales. Lopez is in his third season in the organization and was previously the Isotopes’ bench coach, while Gonzales is in his 10th year with the Rockies and served as the pitching coach for Double-A Hartford last year.
Schaeffer was originally drafted in the 38th round out of Virginia Tech in 2007 and spent six seasons playing in Colorado’s minor league organization before transitioning to coaching.
