Earlier this month, the Atlanta Braves announced they had hired former Twins coach Jeremy Hefner as their pitching coach under newly hired manager Walt Weiss.
Hefner, 39, joined the Twins in 2017 as their advance scout after his playing career ended. He served in that role for two years before being named the Twins' assistant pitching coach (bullpen coach) under newly hired manager Rocco Baldelli. Hefner held the role for just one season, joining the New York Mets as a pitching coach in 2020. He held that role with New York through the 2025 season.
