"The Giants are expected to add Justin Meccage as their pitching coach, reports Robert Murray of FanSided. Meccage has spent the majority of his coaching tenure in the Pirates' organization. He was most recently a minor league coach in the Brewers' system. After a brief playing career, Meccage got his coaching start in the college ranks. After seven years spent between the University of Texas-Pan American and Arkansas State University from 2004 to 2010, Meccage headed to the pros."
"Meccage got his first big-league gig in 2018 as assistant pitching coach for the Pirates. He transitioned to bullpen coach in 2020, a role he held through 2024. Meccage was a Triple-A pitching coach for Milwaukee this past season. New manager Tony Vitello's staff is slowly coming together. San Francisco added Hunter Mense as hitting coach last week. Meccage will replace pitching coach J.P. Martinez, who was hired by Atlanta to be their bullpen coach. Martinez had been on the Giants' staff since 2021."
Justin Meccage will become the San Francisco Giants' pitching coach. He spent much of his coaching career with the Pittsburgh organization and most recently coached in the Milwaukee Brewers' minor-league system. Meccage began coaching in college from 2004 to 2010, then joined Pittsburgh's minor-league staff in 2011, advancing to minor-league pitching coordinator in 2017. He served as Pittsburgh's assistant major-league pitching coach in 2018 and as bullpen coach from 2020 through 2024 before returning to Triple-A in Milwaukee this season. The Giants added Hunter Mense as hitting coach and lost J.P. Martinez to Atlanta. San Francisco ranked 10th in ERA last season and plans to add pitching depth after bullpen injuries and trades.
