BALTIMORE -- The Orioles announced Thursday that they have named Mark Quinn assistant hitting coach, and the rest of the members of the Major League staff will return in their current role. Quinn takes the role of Einar Diaz, who will serve as a Major League coach and assist in all aspects of O's coaching.
Quinn, who played four Major League seasons with Kansas City, said in a conference call that he wasn't necessarily looking to make the jump back to the big leagues. Quinn is the founder of the Houston Royals, a youth travel ball organization. He is also owner of The Baseball School in Houston, an elite instruction program that provides baseball players of all ages with a foundation of proper fundamentals.
