HITTING COACH: Jason Esposito – 1st Season in Lake County Jason Esposito, 28, begins his second year in the professional coaching ranks after serving as the hitting coach for the Arizona League Indians last year. As a player, Esposito was drafted in the second round in 2011 by the Baltimore Orioles after attending Vanderbilt University. He spent four seasons as a third baseman in the Orioles’ organization, reaching as high as Double-A Bowie.
BENCH COACH: Jordan Smith – 1st Season in Lake County Jordan Smith, 28, is a former Captain who is returning to Lake County this year as the team’s bench coach. Smith played for the Captains in the 2012 season. He hit .316 with nine home runs and 74 runs batted in for a team that included Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez. Captains fans gave Smith the nickname, “The Milkman,” due to his love for the nutrient-rich drink. Smith played eight professional seasons, including seven in the Indians’ organization. He reached as high as Triple-A Columbus.
