On December 15, 2016, the New York Mets announced former South Atlantic

League Manager of the Year Jose Leger would return as skipper of the

Fireflies. Leger piloted Columbia through its inaugural season in 2016 after

having managed the previous South Atlantic League affiliate of the Mets, the

Savannah Sand Gnats, in 2015. This year marks the 34-year-old's third

managing at the class-A level and eighth overall in the Mets organization.

Leger was named SAL Manager of the Year after guiding the 2015 Sand Gnats

to a Mets organization-best 84-53 overall record. Even despite seeing 13

different Fireflies hit the disabled list in 2016, the native of Santo Domingo,

Dominican Republic, still managed Columbia to a 67-73 overall mark. Leger

mentored four South Atlantic League All-Stars last season, including P.J.

Conlon, who the Mets eventually named Minor League Pitcher of the Year

He was also the skipper of the advanced-rookie level Kingsport Mets from

2012-2014 and the Dominican Summer League Mets in 2010 and 2011.

Leger is regarded as one of the savviest young managers in baseball. In July of 2016, Leger joined the

coaching staff of six-time MLB All-Star Moises Alou’s World Team for the MLB Futures Game during All-Star

week in San Diego. During the 2015 season, Leger piloted Savannah through one of the best stretches of

baseball in SAL history: an 18-game win streak (at that point, the longest streak in the majors or minors in 10

years).

Leger played professionally in the

Minnesota Twins organization from

2004-2008 as a catcher and infielder.

He also had a standout collegiate career

in the Peach State. Leger started at

Middle Georgia College (Cochran, GA)

and helped lead his team to back-to-back Junior College World Series in 2001 and 2002. The infielder then

played his final two seasons at Georgia College & State University (Milledgeville, GA) and was an All-Peach Belt

Conference selection in 2003 and 2004.

During the winter months, Leger serves as bench coach for his good friend and Binghamton Rumble Ponies

(NYM, Double-A) manager Luis Rojas’ Leones del Escogido. Leger helped guide the team to the Dominican

Winter League championship in 2015.

Leger and his wife, Estela, have two sons: Jose Joaquin and Eduardo Jose. They live in Santo Domingo,

Dominican Republic, during the winter.

Jonathan Hurst (Pitching Coach), a native of Spartanburg, South Carolina, returns for his second season with the Fireflies and 12th overall in the Mets organization. Hurst spent six prior seasons (2010-2015) as the pitching coach of the Kingsport Mets, New York’s advanced-rookie affiliate in the Appalachian League. The former big leaguer previously coached in the South Atlantic League in 2007 and 2008 with the former Mets affiliate, the Savannah Sand Gnats. Hurst appeared in seven games for the Mets in 1994 and made his Major League debut with the Montreal Expos in 1992. After a standout career at Spartanburg Methodist, Hurst signed with the Texas Rangers after being selected in the fourth round of the 1987 draft. Joel Fuentes (Hitting Coach) begins his 11th year in the Mets organization and—like Hurst—his second in Columbia. He spent two seasons (2012-2013) previously in the South Atlantic League, coaching the former Mets affiliate, the Savannah Sand Gnats. He spent 2015 and the 2010 and 2011 seasons as hitting coach of the Mets advanced-A club, the St. Lucie Mets, in the Florida State League.
