The San Francisco Giants of the U.S. Major League Baseball announced on the 19th (Korea time) that they appointed J.P. Martinez as their new pitching coach instead of Brian Price, who retired after a season.

Martinez is 42, who served as the team's assistant pitching coach for four seasons after joining San Francisco in 2021. After joining Martinez, San Francisco pitchers had a 3.80 ERA, the fourth-lowest in the NL.

Martinez played several roles for the Minnesota Twins in six seasons before coming to San Francisco, most recently as the club's assistant pitching coordinator.메이저사이트

After five years of coaching with the Cincinnati Reds, Pryce was called upon by his close friend Bob Melvin to sign a two-year contract with San Francisco ahead of this season. However, he chose to resign after a year. San Francisco is trying to make innovative changes by replacing both its president and general manager after new president Buster Poyce took the helm. Locally, Pryce believes that Pryce will leave the team as an extension of the contract.
