Seattle Mariners Hitting Coach Hired With Manager News Pending

With the announcement of their manager still pending, the Seattle Mariners hired CJ Gillman as their hitting coach to begin their coaching restructure. Gillman previously worked in the Mariners organization as their minor-league hitting coordinator from 2022 to 2025. He left to become the director of hitting for the Washington Nationals, who ranked as one of the top offenses in the MLB last season. The Seattle Mariners still have yet to announce their new manager, so news about a different coach is a bit surprising.
