A native of Fremont, Nebraska, Holmberg was drafted by the Brewers in the fifth round of the 1970 January draft. He played eight seasons as a third baseman/outfielder in the Milwaukee system and was a regular on the 1974 Midwest League champion Danville (IL) arriors.W At 25, he began his managerial career in 1977 with the Newark Co-Pilots, the Brewers’ farm team in the New York-Penn League. He then joined the Blue Jays in 1978 as a minor league instructor and has been with the organization ever since. He has spent 24 seasons as a manager and eight as a coach in the Toronto system. He also spent the 1994 and 1995 seasons as the bullpen coach for the big league club. Holmberg has piloted ten playoff teams, including last year’s Appy League runner-up in Bluefield. It was Bluefield’s first postseason tirp since 2002. From 2002 to 2007 his Auburn Doubledays made six straight postseasons, including a New York-Penn League championship run in ‘07. The Palm Harbor, Florida resident has managed many future major leaguers, including Roy Halladay, Fred McGriff, Jeff Kent, Jimmy Key, Cecil Fielder, Carlos Delgado, Tony Fernandez, Shawn Green, Al Leiter, Mark Timlin, Ricky Romero and J.P. Arencibia. His son Kenny was drafted by the Blue Jays in 2001 and the Brewers in 2005. After playing four years in the minors, he went into coaching like his dad. He managed the Rangers’ Dominican Summer League team in 2010 and is currently a coach for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, a Texas farm club in the Carolina League.

PITCHING COACH - ANTONIO CACERES Antonio Caceres is set to begin his second season as Dennis Holmberg’s pitching coach in Bluefield and his 13th in the Blue Jays organization. At 17, he signed with the Blue Jays in 1995 and pitched for three seasons in the Dominican Summer League before moving up to the Pioneer League’s Medicine Hat Blue Jays in Alberta, Canada. In his final season on the mound, he went 6-4 with a 3.81 ERA in 58 innings. Caceres stayed with the Blue Jays as a pitching coach and taught young arms in the Dominican Summer League from 2000 to 2003. He had his first stint in the Appalachian League from 2004 to 2005 with the Pulaski Blue Jays. He worked under Holmberg for the next three seasons as pitching coach with the Auburn Doubledays, including their NYPL championship season of 2007. In 2009 it was on to the Midwest League’s Lansing Lugnuts, the Jays’ low-A affiliate. After two seasons he moved to Bluefield and was reunited with Holmberg. HITTING COACH - PAUL ELLIOTT New hitting coach Paul Elliott replaces Kenny Graham, who was promoted to the same position with the Lansing Lugnuts. The Sydney, Australia native is starting his 17th season as a Blue Jays minor league manager or coach. He began as a coach with the Medicine Hat Blue Jays in 1996, then spent the next year with the Knoxville Blue Jays and the next with the Hagerstown Suns. His first shot at managing was in 1999 with Medicine Hat for two seasons, and he led them to the playoffs in 2000. He earned a move up to the Auburn Doubledays in 2001 and another to the low-A Charleston Alley Cats in 2002. Like Caceres, he’s been in the Appy League before, having spent the 2003 season as manager of the Pulaski Blue Jays. From there Elliott went into coaching. He was in Dunedin from 2004 to 2008 and was then named hitting coach of the New Hampshire Fisher Cats in Double-A. He was there for the 2009 season, then moved to the Gulf Coast League for 2010 and 2011 before taking over in Bluefield for this season. Elliott was a coach for the Australian National Team in the 2004 Olympics and the 2006 and 2009 World Baseball Classic. He has also man- aged the Parramatta Patriots, Sydney Storm and Sydney Blues of the Australian Baseball League. TRAINER - JON WOODWORTH Trainer Jon Woodworth joins the

    Baseball Rule” Faces an Interesting Test

    The “Baseball Rule” Faces an Interesting Test One of the many beauties of baseball, affectionately known as “America’s pastime,” is the ability for people to come to the stadium and become ingrained in the action and get the chance to interact with their heroes. Going to a baseball game, as opposed to going to most other sporting events, truly gives a fan the opportunity to take part in the action. However, this can come at a steep price as foul balls enter the stands at alarming speeds and occasionally strike spectators. According to a recent study, approximately 1,750 people get hurt each year by batted 1 balls at Major League Baseball (MLB) games, which adds up to twice every three games. The 2015 MLB season featured many serious incidents that shed light on the issue of 2 spectator protection. ​ This has led to heated debates among the media, fans, and even players and 3 managers as to what should be done to combat this issue. ​ Currently, there is a pending class action lawsuit against Major League Baseball (“MLB”).

    Atlanta Braves Clippings Monday, September 21, 2020 Braves.com Wright baffles Mets in 6 1/3-inning, 1-hit gem By Mark Bowman Ronald Acuña Jr. was bound to right himself before the postseason arrived. But the fact Kyle Wright has also started the regular season’s home stretch on a good note gives the Braves even more reason to be excited about what October might bring. Acuña’s solo homer provided all of the necessary support for Wright, who constructed a career-best start in the Braves’ 7-0 win over the Mets on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. The right-hander’s confidence has grown significantly as he’s used his past two starts to show he has the potential to lessen concerns about the postseason rotation. “He’s been tremendous,” said catcher Travis d’Arnaud, who hit a two-run double in the eighth inning. “His demeanor on the mound and his demeanor in between innings, he’s been carrying himself really well. He’s just been attacking guys.” The Braves’ magic number to clinch a third consecutive National League East title has been reduced to six with seven games remaining, four of which will be played against the second-place Marlins this week. Looking ahead to the postseason, the Braves’ rotation will likely include Max Fried, Ian Anderson, Cole Hamels and Wright, who had essentially been a candidate by default before he produced two of the strongest starts of his young career over the past eight days. Wright earned his first career win with six strong innings at Nationals Park last weekend.
