"On Friday, the Nationals hired Justin Horowitz as an assistant general manager. Horowitz most recently served as director of amateur scouting for the Pirates beginning in 2023. But Horowitz becomes the second high-profile AGM who previously worked under Paul Toboni in Boston. This hire follows Devin Pearson's, who also served on Toboni's staff in his Red Sox days. Both new AGMs are viewed as sharp, modern voices in scouting and player development."
"In Pittsburgh, Horowitz oversaw the Pirates' 2024 and 2025 draft classes, both of which drew praise across the league. He played a major role in the selections of shortstop Konnor Griffin and right-hander Seth Hernandez, two cornerstone picks for the organization. Griffin, taken ninth overall in 2024, is now MLB Pipeline's top-ranked prospect, while Hernandez, drafted sixth overall in 2025, is considered one of the top prep arms in baseball."
"Horowitz began his baseball career as a baseball operations intern with the Red Sox while studying at Georgetown, where he also played club baseball. He graduated from the McDonough School of Business in 2013, then quickly moved up the ranks as an amateur and international assistant scout, area scout, crosschecker, and eventually became a special assistant. He spent 11 years in Boston's front office before taking on a key role in Pittsburgh, where he ran the Pirates' draft operation for the past two seasons."
Justin Horowitz joined the Washington Nationals as an assistant general manager after serving as the Pittsburgh Pirates' director of amateur scouting beginning in 2023. He spent 11 years in Boston's front office, advancing from a baseball operations intern at Georgetown to special assistant and multiple scouting roles under Paul Toboni. Horowitz ran the Pirates' draft operation for the 2024 and 2025 classes, contributing to selections such as Konnor Griffin and Seth Hernandez and helping raise Pittsburgh's prospect standing. Toboni has continued to draw on former Red Sox staff, bringing modern scouting and player-development voices into new front offices.
