TROY – Pete Incaviglia will return as manager of the Frontier League’s Tri-City ValleyCats, the team announced Tuesday after picking up his option.
“We’re excited to have Pete coming back as our field manager for the upcoming season,” Tri-City’s vice president and general manager Matt Callahan said in a press release. “He’s an important member of the ValleyCats organization and we’ve enjoyed having him in the Capital Region community over the past two years. The team enjoyed a solid run in 2022, but we’re already working to bring home a Frontier League Championship in 2023.”
Incaviglia has a 102-86 record in his two seasons with the club. He is the third manager in club history to win 100 games, joining Ed Romero and Gregg Langbehn. The infamous power hitter coached Tri-City hitters to a Frontier League-leading 162 home runs, and a .288 team batting average, the third-best in the league.
“It means a lot to return as manager of the ValleyCats,” Incaviglia said in a press release. “I appreciate the organization having the faith and confidence in me that I am going to get it done.”
