The New York Yankees announced their full coaching staff for the 2025 season, highlighting the addition of former player Preston Claiborne as assistant pitching coach. Claiborne, a former reliever for the Yankees, takes over from Desi Druchsel and will guide an upgraded pitching staff, featuring new talent like Max Fried and Devin Williams. His journey with the Yankees began when he was drafted in 2010, leading to a brief MLB career and subsequent coaching roles, including positions in the minor leagues before his promotion to the major league staff.
Claiborne, who celebrated his 37th birthday on Tuesday, will help instruct a pitching staff which added a healthy dose of high-end talent over the winter.
Claiborne was tapped as the pitching coach for the Yankees' Gulf Coast League affiliate ahead of the 2020 season, which was subsequently shuttered by the COVID pandemic.
