SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners have added Casey Candaele as first base coach and Mike Hampton as bullpen coach on the staff of first-time manager Scott Servais.
Seattle announced the coaching additions on Monday.
Candaele, 54, spent last season as the Texas Rangers’ field co-ordinator and previously spent four seasons as the minor league infield and base running co-ordinator. Servais says Candaele will work with outfielders and on base running in Seattle.
Hampton, 43, spent the past two seasons as a pitching coach in the Los Angeles Angels minor league system after concluding a 20-year playing career. Hampton was originally drafted in the sixth round of the 1990 amateur draft by the Mariners.
