Jeff Bianchi, a Lancaster native and former Milwaukee Brewer, recently joined the coaching staff of the Lancaster Barnstormers. Bianchi will serve as the team's hitting coach in 2021.
A product of Lampeter-Strasburg High School, Bianchi signed with the Kansas City Royals in 2005 as the team's second-round pick in that year's draft. Following the 2011 season, he joined the Brewers as a minor league free agent. While batting .351 at Class AA Huntsville and .317 at Class AAA Nashville, Bianchi earned himself three promotions to the big leagues, making his big league debut against Pittsburgh.
The utility infielder played 100 games in a Brewers uniform in 2013 and 29 more in 2014 before ending his major league career with Boston in 2015. He spent his final season on the field with Class AAA Albuquerque (Colorado) in 2016.
