NEW YORK: After serving as Mark Kotsay’s bench coach with Oakland in 2022, Brad Ausmus stayed home in California this year.
“This past summer I didn’t do anything. I got a little bit bored, to be honest with you,” he said Tuesday, a week after he was hired as Aaron Boone’s bench coach with the New York Yankees.
Ausmus was traded to San Diego and made his major league debut on July 28, 1993. Ausmus hit .251 with 80 homers and 607 RBIs in 18 seasons for the Padres (1993-96), Detroit (1996, 1999-2000) and Houston (1997-98, 2001-08).
He becomes the second new Yankees coach for 2024. James Rowson was hired as hitting coach to replace Sean Casey, who took over from Dillon Lawson at the All-Star break and decided not to return.
