The Yankees have a new first base coach, reports Greg Joyce of The New York Post. Dan Fiorito, the club’s minor league outfield/infield coordinator, will be promoted to the big league staff. The club hasn’t yet announced the hiring.
It was reported last month that the Yankees would be moving on from a few coaches, including first base and infield coach Travis Chapman. Per Joyce, Fiorito has been hired to replace Chapman at first and is expected to take over the infield coaching duties as well.
Fiorito, 35, played in the Yankees’ minor league system from 2013 to 2016. After his playing days were done, he make the move into coaching. He managed the Gulf Coast League Yankees in 2019, then moved up to manage High-A Hudson Valley in 2021 and Double-A Somerset in 2022.

The pieces are now in place!
Someone needs to tell Dan he doesn’t need a mask moving forward.
The mask is to sow confusion. Who is that, really, coaching first base?
I was hoping Shelly Duncan would be given a chance to coach at the next level. Maybe next year
Hopefully he will be Boones replacement next year
Don Mattingly needs to be Boone’s replacement.
No offense, but he needs to be Hal’s replacement. too…
The Yankees were looking at Sandy Duncan as a baserunning coach. She can fly!
I saw a really stupid headline on another website that he will be Boones replacement..
As if the Yankees are that predictable….
Congratulations to Dan. I like seeing minor league coaches get their due.
It would be flat out hilarious if the Yankees could actually win a championship, having the worst manager in baseball. It’s definitely time to make a change. Let’s just face the facts, Hal has never been George, and he never will be. George would have had Mattingly managing by now, or even had Girardi or Showalter back by now. Boone is the wrong guy. He’s definitely not the answer here. He’s gotta go!
You guys couldn’t find a better picture that didn’t have those stupid, useless masks?
Hey anti-mask genious, now they’ve discovered that the vaccine helps fight cancer. I guess you anti-science knuckleheads were right all along.
pathetic lackey of Big Pharma disguising their deadly Lysenkoism as “pro-science”
“They” meaning big Pharma? And I’m not anti-mask. I’m anti-the government forcing everyone to wear one just to show they’re still in charge no matter what the constitution might say. But people like you will continue to watch the Rachel Maddow show with both of your mothers and think that you’re on the “right side of history”.
