Pirates add veteran Sherlock for new coaching position
While the Pirates had mostly hired younger coaches in the early stages of filling their major league staff, they broke that trend Monday.
The Pirates have hired Glenn Sherlock as a major league coach. Sherlock, 59, has 36 years of experience in professional baseball.
Sherlock's primary focus will be coaching Pirates catchers and run prevention. He will also assist manager Derek Shelton and bench coach Don Kelly with game preparation and management.
The Pirates were considering adding a quality control coach while assembling their staff. While the Pirates did not refer to Sherlock's position as such, his responsibilities check just about every box of a quality control coach.
