In a historic move, the San Francisco Giants has hired University of Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello as the 40th field manager in organization history, the first-ever collegiate coach to transition to the MLB without previous professional experience.  Hiring 47-year-old Vitello is a big swing for Buster Posey’s first managerial hire as president of baseball operations, but it’s a chance worth taking, as it will result in a World Series championship very soon. Vitello is known for transforming the Volunteers’ baseball program into a powerhouse since taking over as head coach in 2017. Now, he seeks to do the same for the Giants. During his time at Tennessee, Vitello led the program to six NCAA regionals, five NCAA super regionals and three College World Series appearances. In 2024, the Volunteers won the College World Series over the Texas A&M University Aggies. 🔗 Read the full story at the link in bio ✍️: Lourence Alturino (lourenzoooo) 📸: Klyde Java (klyde.java) #sfsu #sfstat...
