Blue Jays Announce 2025 Coaching Staff with New Additions

The Toronto Blue Jays have officially unveiled their 2025 coaching staff, featuring some new faces and familiar names. Among the previously unreported additions is Sam Greene, who will serve as the assistant pitching coach.

At just 27 years old, Greene is one of the youngest coaches in Major League Baseball. This marks his first stint in a big league coaching role. The Blue Jays highlighted that Greene spent the 2024 season as a senior pitching research specialist. A Pennsylvania native, Greene played collegiate baseball in Canada at Montreal’s McGill University and has been with the Jays for four seasons.

Greene will work alongside newly-hired bullpen coach Graham Johnson, both assisting pitching coach Pete Walker. The Blue Jays have also made significant changes to their hitting staff, appointing David Popkins as the lead hitting instructor and Lou Iannotti as an assistant.

- Associate Manager: DeMarlo Hale
