Blue Jays announce coaching staff for 2024, including a few new members.
TORONTO — In 2024, three new coaches will be added to manager John Schneider’s team.
The Blue Jays revealed their entire roster on Friday, with Matt Hague taking the lead as the team’s new assistant hitting coach, Carlos Febles taking over as third-base coach, and John Lannan taking over as mental performance manager.
Entire coaching staff shown here:
Supervisor: John Schneider
Don Mattingly is the offensive coordinator and bench coach. DeMarlo Hale is the associate manager.
Pete Walker, pitching coach
Coach of hitting: Guillermo Martinez
Coach of first base: Mark Budzinski
Coach of third base: Carlos Febles
Jeff Ware, assistant pitching coach (bullpen)
David Howell, assistant pitching coach (strategic)
Hunter Mense is the hitting coach assistant.
Matt Hague, assistant hitting coach
John Lannan is the Major League mental performance coach. Gil Kim is the field coordinator.
Hague has been a Minor League hitting coach for the Blue Jays since 2020. He was highly regarded by the front office and began his tenure at Class A Advanced Dunedin before moving on to Double-A New Hampshire and Triple-A Buffalo. His promotion to the major league ranks, which was previously announced by general manager Ross Atkins on January 3, follows the Blue Jays’ below-average offensive output from the previous campaign.
