Robinson Chirinos Named Baltimore Orioles Bench Coach for 2025

The former MLB catcher begins his coaching career, succeeding Fredi González, as the Orioles finalize their 2025 coaching staff.

Robinson Chirinos, who played 11 MLB seasons and ended his career with the Orioles in 2022, has been appointed as the team's new bench coach under manager Brandon Hyde.
Chirinos replaces Fredi González, who served as the Orioles' bench coach for three seasons and was part of the coaching staff for five years.
Buck Britton, former Triple-A Norfolk manager and International League Manager of the Year, has been promoted to a major league coaching role, marking his first MLB coaching position.
Cody Asche has been promoted to hitting coach, while Tommy Joseph and Sherman Johnson join the staff as assistant hitting coaches, filling vacancies left by previous co-hitting coaches Matt Borgschulte and Ryan Fuller.
The Orioles aim to build on their recent success, having made playoff appearances in the last two seasons, despite being swept in the Wild Card Series in 2024.
