Lee Tinsley

As coach Lee Owen Tinsley (March 4, 1969 – January 12, 2023) was an American professional baseball outfielder.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1993 to 1997 for the Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies.

Tinsley made his Major League debut on April 6, 1993, against the Toronto Blue Jays, pinch hitting in the fifth inning and remaining in the game to play left field.

Tinsley collected his first Major League hit on April 11, 1993, with a ninth inning pinch-hit single off Baltimore's Gregg Olson, eventually scoring the tying run to send the game into extra-innings.

He hit .222 in 78 games for them in 1994, while tying a club record by going 13-for-13 in stolen base attempts in his first full year in the majors.

On January 29, 1996, the Red Sox traded Tinsley (along with Glenn Murray and Ken Ryan) to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for Heathcliff Slocumb and two minor leaguers.

Tinsley never returned to the Majors, but he spent 1998–99 in AAA with the affiliates of the Anaheim Angels, Montreal Expos and Cincinnati Reds.

He was named the manager of the Ogden Raptors for 2014, but chose to join the Cincinnati Reds as assistant hitting coach instead.
