ABOUT

With a history dating back exactly a century to 1921, baseball has long been a part of Greeneville’s narrative. That tradition will continue this year as the newly rebranded Greeneville Flyboys will continue to play in the Appalachian League, now one of the nation’s premier wooden bat collegiate summer leagues.

Flyboys was chosen as the official name of the club in reference to the fact that the team’s stadium was constructed near to the location of an old airfield, as well as the strong history of patriotism in the area.

The “jewel of the Appalachian League,” Pioneer Park opened in 2004 in conjunction with Tusculum College and was built just a few hundred feet from the former runway of Tusculum Field, the first airport in Greene County.

Most recently an affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds since 2018, Greeneville was also a longtime affiliate of the Houston Astros from 2004-17, winning Appy League titles in 2004 and 2015, and played host to two versions of the Greeneville Burley Cubs from 1921-25 and 1938-42.

Among the many future Major Leaguers to play in Greeneville are current stars Jose Altuve, Lance McCullers, Jr., Carlos Correa, J.D. Martinez, and Joe Musgrove.

Alan Regier will pilot the Flyboys coaching staff with 28 years of MLB scouting and player devel-

opment experience for five different organizations having prepared him for the managerial position. He will work alongside pitching coach Mack Jenkins, hitting coach Robert Sasser, and player development coach Clay Martin.

COACHING STAFF

ALAN REGIER

MANAGER

Alan Regier joins the Greenville Flyboys with 28 years of Major League Baseball scouting and player development experience under his belt. From 2009-2020, Regier was a special assignment scout for the Chicago White Sox after starting with the organization in 2006 as a minor league field coordinator and serving as the Director of Player Development from 2007-2008. Prior to joining the White Sox organization, Reiger spent time scouting for the Texas Rangers (1992-1995), Atlanta Braves (1996-1998), Milwaukee Brewers (2000-2002) and Boston Red Sox (2003-2005). Regier played collegiate baseball for Chabot College and the University of Arizona, and spent one year in the minor leagues with the Redwood Pioneers where he posted a .172/.297/.216 slash line with 20 walks in 37 games. Following his playing career, Regier spent a decade as an assistant coach at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1982-92. MACK JENKINS

PITCHING COACH

Mack Jenkins brings over three decades of coaching experience to the Greeneville Flyboys staff in 2021. During a 23-year stint in the Cincinnati Reds organization, Jenkins coached at every level from Rookie Ball to Triple-A before joining the Major League staff in 2012 as the assistant pitching coach. In the 2014 season, Jenkins became the Reds’ bullpen coach before being named the team’s pitching coach in 2016. The veteran coach then returned to the minor leagues in 2019 as a pitching coach in the Washington Nationals organization. Prior to his coaching career, Jenkins also played in the Reds organization from 1986-1988. ROBERT SASSER

HITTING COACH

Robert Sasser joins the Greeneville Flyboys coaching staff as the hitting coach after nine years serving in the same role in the Chicago White Sox organization. Sasser was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 10th round of the 1993 MLB Draft and had a 13-year minor league playing career before starting his coaching career. He appeared in 1,169 games for nine different organizations and played at every position on the field except for pitcher and catcher, serving primarily as a third baseman. In his time coaching in the White Sox system, Sasser spent a majority of his time with the organization’s Class A affiliate as the team’s hitting coach. CLAY MARTIN

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

Clay Martin comes to the Appy League as the player development coach for the Greeneville Flyboys after spending the last two seasons as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator at Westminster College. Before coaching, Martin played college ball at Washington and Jefferson College where he holds the school record for career saves (13) and single season saves (12). The Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, native played in two NCAA Division III College World Series’ during his time at Washington and Jefferson.
