SF Giants to hire Justin Meccage as new pitching coach: report
Justin Meccage joins as pitching coach to strengthen Giants' rotation and bullpen, following a staff overhaul led by new manager Tony Vitello.
- The San Francisco Giants are reportedly hiring Justin Meccage as pitching coach under new manager Tony Vitello, FanSided reports, marking a key step in shaping Vitello's inaugural staff.
- Several coaches from last year are not returning, including J.P. Martinez and Pat Burrell, as the Giants prioritized pitching after their bullpen weakened by trades and injuries.
- Meccage brings Triple‑A pitching‑coach experience from the Nashville Sounds, where he worked with All-Star Jacob Misiorowski and led Milwaukee's affiliate to a 3.91 ERA.
- The coaching group includes new and returning assistants such as Alex Burg, catching coach and MLB field coordinator, Jayce Tingler, Hunter Mense, Oscar Bernard, Taira Uematsu, and Eliezer Zambrano.
- Several young pitchers could make starts next season, but the rest of the rotation remains unsettled as the Giants left prospects Hunter Bishop, Will Bednar, and Reggie Crawford exposed in the Rule 5 Draft Tuesday.
