Chicago Cubs coach departs for a gig with a division rival
The Chicago Cubs have lost their Triple-A bench coach Eric Patterson as he elected to take the same position but with the Indianapolis Indians. Patterson, a former eighth round draft pick and Cubs player in the latter half of the 2000s, will now be continuing his post playing career in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization.
Eric Patterson playing career
After being drafted by the Cubs in 2004, Patterson made his MLB debut with the team in 2007. His big league tenure in Chicago was brief, in which part way through the 2008 season he found himself in Oakland. He ended up playing Major League Baseball for five seasons and also had tenures with the Boston Red Sox and San Diego Padres. All together he received 575 total plate appearances in which he posted a .637 OPS with 35 stolen bases.
The Chicago Cubs hired Eric Patterson when he was done playing
In 2021 Patterson was hired as an assistant hitting coach for the High-A and ACL Cub affiliates. He then became the hitting coach for the Triple-A Iowa Cubs in 2023 and was promoted to bench coach in 2024. A bench coach is someone who is considered the right-hand man to the manager and helps with the in game decision making.
Eric Patterson will be a bench coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates Triple-A team
In 2025, Patterson will serve as the bench coach for the Indianapolis Indians. He will be working under first year manager Chris Truby, who previously was the bench coach for the Indians.
Pirates have added Eric Patterson as the Indianapolis bench coach. He spent the last five years in the Chicago Cubs system as a hitting coach/bench coach. He played five seasons in the majors (2007-11), seeing time with four teams.
