The Orioles made their official announcement for the 2021 coaching staff on Tuesday afternoon, making formal a staff whose new names had been floating around for weeks. Joining Brandon Hyde’s staff for the coming season are pitching coach Chris Holt and third base coach Tony Mansolino. Holt’s addition had been announced by Mike Elias back in November.
Holt is not a new name for Orioles fans who’ve been following Elias’s hires since Elias became the team’s general manager. Holt was brought in as the director of pitching for the organization, a title that he will retain even as he serves as the major league pitching coach.
