Who We Are:
Detroit is a city that earns everything it gets, and that identity runs through this organization — how we work, how we develop, and how we compete. We’re building something here: one of the game’s most productive player development pipelines, a roster built on homegrown talent, and a culture built on getting better every single day. Our Baseball Operations department succeeds because of people who bring rigor, curiosity, and a genuine hunger to win to the work — not just on the field, but in every room where decisions get made.

- Able to commit to the full length of the position (February through October).
Working Conditions:
- Athletic training room, clubhouse, and field environment, on-site at Lakeland and the assigned Minor League affiliate.
- Some evening, weekend, and holiday hours are required, as dictated by the baseball season schedule.
