The Seattle Mariners have hired Tanner Swanson as their new bench coach. Swanson previously held the position of catching coordinator for the New York Yankees, a role he took on in November 2019.
He will be working under Mariners manager Jason Kanzler, who was recently appointed to lead the team. Swanson has developed a strong reputation for his work in improving catcher performance, particularly in framing pitches, during his tenure with the Yankees organization. His move to Seattle marks a significant step in his coaching career within Major League Baseball.
