The Pittsburgh Pirates announced this morning that they have hired former Toronto Blue Jays Daniel Vogelbach as a hitting specialist coach.
Vogelbach did not spend much time in Toronto as he was signed to a minor league deal last off-season with the Blue Jays but was designated for assignment and released by the end of June.

This is the second time Vogelbach will be part of the Pirates organization as he signed a one year deal with them back in 2022 where he finished with 12 homeruns and 34 RBIs in 75 games that season.
While with the Pirates, he slashed .228/.338/.430 with 10 doubles, 12 home runs and 34 RBIs in 75 games. He also recorded the only triple of his career while with the Pirates. -Demilio
Vogelbach was not known as an incredible hitter throughout his career but still put up some decent numbers finishing his career with 81 homeruns and 246 RBIs with his best season coming in 2018 when he hit 30 homeruns and 76 RBIs.
For his career, Vogelbach had a .219/.340/.405 batting line with 63 doubles, 81 home runs and 246 RBIs and totaled 602 games. -Demilio
It will be interesting to see how Vogelbach ends up doing as a coach as he is only 32 years old and could end up having a long career ahead of him from the bench.
This is a good move by the Pirates as their offense needs all the help they can get after how the 2024 season went.
