San Francisco Giants Finalize 2025 Coaching Staff with Key Additions

Oscar Bernard and Damon Minor join as assistant hitting coaches, while Taira Uematsu is promoted to quality control coach.

The San Francisco Giants have hired Oscar Bernard and Damon Minor as assistant hitting coaches for the 2025 MLB season.
Oscar Bernard, previously with the Padres organization, brings nine years of coaching experience, including a stint as an assistant hitting coach under Bob Melvin in 2023.
Damon Minor, a former Giants first baseman, spent the past nine seasons as the hitting coach for the Giants' Triple-A affiliate in Sacramento.
Taira Uematsu has been promoted to the role of quality control coach after serving as an assistant coach for three seasons.
These changes come after the departures of several staff members, including Alyssa Nakken to the Guardians and Pedro Guerrero and Justin Viele to other MLB teams.
