Pat Hentgen's role with Blue Jays transitions to player development

DUNEDIN, FLA. - Pat Hentgen, one of three Blue Jay Cy Young winners, is back in uniform this spring and will wear that uniform for at least some of the time in his role as a consultant to the club this summer.

In the past, Hentgen has been the big-league club’s bullpen coach and since then, his role with the club has taken a variety of directions. A couple of years ago, GM Alex Anthopoulos liked to have Hentgen go along on amateur scouting trips, valuing his opinion.

When he wasn’t scouting he was also keeping an eye on the big league club from the executive box.
