“J.P. is a really sharp person and was able to integrate some of the newer analytics and pitch shapes and how you use seams and whatnot, and put that in layman's terms for the players.
“When it comes to filling the coaching staff I really want to defer to the manager, and talking to Bob, he felt really comfortable with J.P.”
“My sense and I think Bob's sense as well is that J.P. in this role -- with a little bit more backing or authority behind him -- is really going to be able to take us to another level.”
“Posey noted not only Martinez's work ethic but also the way he is able to easily connect with pitchers. He also is bilingual, one reason Gabe Kapler originally was so excited to add him to the staff.”
