Brewers add Pat Casey and Jace Peterson as consultants to player development and high performance

MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Brewers today announced the additions of Hall of Fame collegiate coach Pat Casey and former Major League infielder Jace Peterson as consultants to the organization's player development and high performance staff.

Casey, who will turn 66 on March 17, is one of the most successful collegiate coaches of all time and was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2024. A five-time National Coach of the Year (2005-07, 2017-18), Casey led Oregon State University to three national championships (2006-07, 2018) and a 900-458-6 record in 24 seasons as head coach of the Beavers (1995-2018). Following an eight-year playing career in the Minor Leagues with San Diego (1980-84), Seattle (1985-86) and Minnesota (1987), he began his coaching career at George Fox University, where he spent seven seasons as head coach (1988-94).

Casey will spend time at each of the organization's full-season affiliates and in Milwaukee to serve as an advisor to player development and its alignment with manager Pat Murphy and the Major League team.

Peterson, 34, rejoins the Brewers after appearing in 232 games with the team over three seasons from 2020-22. In addition to the Brewers, Peterson played for San Diego (2014), Atlanta (2015-17), New York-AL (2018), Baltimore (2018-19), Oakland (2023) and Arizona (2023-24) over the course of his 11-year Major League career. He will use experience from his playing career to help the organization's performance psychology department as a resource to players on how to navigate the mental side of the game.
