Austin Nola To Become Mariners' Bullpen Coach
"Nola was drafted by the Marlins in 2012. He spent seven seasons in the minors with the organization, never reaching the big leagues. Nola signed a minor league deal with the Mariners ahead of the 2019 season, and he would make his major league debut later that year. He stepped into semi-regular playing time in a versatile role with Seattle, making starts at catcher, first base, second base, third base, and right field. Nola slashed a solid .269/.342/.454 over 79 games that season."
"Catcher Austin Nola is expected to rejoin Seattle's organization as bullpen coach, reports Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Nola will be released from the minor league deal he signed with Atlanta last month, adds Nightengale. The transition into coaching suggests Nola is wrapping up his playing career after six MLB seasons. Seattle has yet to announce the hiring. Tony Arnerich served as Seattle's bullpen coach and catching instructor last season."
Austin Nola is expected to rejoin the Seattle organization as bullpen coach and will be released from the minor-league deal he signed with Atlanta. The move indicates Nola is ending his playing career after six MLB seasons, though Seattle has not announced the hire. Tony Arnerich served as Seattle's bullpen coach and catching instructor last season after two years as hitting coach; the Mariners have not announced changes to his role. Nola was drafted by the Marlins in 2012, reached MLB with Seattle in 2019, played multiple positions, and slashed .269/.342/.454 over 79 games that season. He later played for San Diego and spent 2024 in Triple-A without a major-league call.
