Yankees Hire Preston Claiborne As Assistant Pitching Coach

By Anthony Franco | January 21, 2025 at 7:57pm CDT

The Yankees announced their full 2025 coaching staff this morning. The only change from last year is the hiring of Preston Claiborne as an assistant pitching coach. Desi Druschel held that role for the last three seasons before taking the same job with the Mets at the start of the winter.

It’s a nice birthday gift for Claiborne, who turns 37 today. He’s a former major league reliever who made 62 appearances with the Yankees between 2013-14. Claiborne played professionally until 2018. He began his coaching career two years later as a pitching instructor in the low minors of the New York system. Claiborne most recently served as pitching coach for the organization’s Low-A affiliate. This will be his first position on an MLB staff.

Aaron Boone is bringing back the rest of his group for what’ll be his eighth season at the helm in the Bronx. The remainder of the staff is as follows: bench coach Brad Ausmus, hitting coach James Rowson, pitching coach Matt Blake, bullpen coach Mike Harkey, assistant hitting coaches Casey Dykes and Pat Roessler, first base coach Travis Chapman, third base coach Luis Rojas, and director of catching Tanner Swanson.

      It takes a village to keep Boone from going full Billy Martin on the field.

      You guys ever see the Boone interviews he does with Jomboy? It’s fascinating how sensitive he gets when the guys question some of his in-game moves. I hope your Yankees win despite having Boone, I mean that in a good way!

    Definitely sounds like a guy who was his frat president and is now an attorney.

    In May 2018 Roger Beshens Football Slider was teaching his Football Slider to Tanaka and Severino. Larry Rothschild was unaware, Matt Blake was in Cleveland and had no clue about the Roger Beshens Football Slider. Nobody teaches the shaping techniques of his pitch better than him, without knowing the shaping aspect of that football slider the metrics are useless. That’s why Brent Strom brought Roger Beshens to the Dbacks Clubhouse last May 23.

      Sam Marlin is obviously a false moniker.

        Do you like the Roger Beshens Football Slider shaping techniques that he taught Strom in the Dbacks Clubhouse May 23, 2024?
        Roger was smart and got in on video.

    This seems like a favor or something and not so much a necessity or a … boon, if you will, to the team’s prospects or training.

    Preston Claiborne is the most miserable human I’ve ever has the displeasure of meeting.

      Did he say he would’t have a job with Matt or Desi if it weren’t for the Football Slider information from Roger Beshens in May 2018?

    Welp, Cashman said they weren’t done adding people.

      They’re simply adding everyone and everything not already sucked up by the Dodgers.
