The Mahoning Valley Scrappers have announced the return of Quinton McCracken as manager for the 2025 season.

Major League relief pitcher Ron Mahay and former MLB outfielder Roosevelt Brown will also be joining with McCracken for the season.

McCracken served out a 12-year career with the MLB, playing a total of 999 games between the Colorado Rockies, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Minnesota Twins, Arizona Diamondbacks, Seattle Mariners and Cincinnati Reds.

"My family and I are excited to be returning to Niles for another season. The Scrappers organization and the Mahoning Valley community hold a special place in our hearts as they truly welcomed and embraced us as family last summer," says McCracken.

He continues, "We thoroughly enjoyed the scenic nature of this part of NE Ohio and the deep passion it has for baseball. The 2025 Scrappers baseball staff: Ron, Roosevelt and I look forward to another rewarding season servicing MLB's future major leaguers as we strive to develop championship players both on and off the field of play."

Mahay spent 14 years with the MLB and will be rejoining the Scrappers as their pitching coach for the 2025 season. Mahay spent time coaching in the Mahoning Valley during 2021, 2022 and 2024 Scrapper seasons.

Additionally, Brown spent four years with the Chicago Cubs, where he played 228 games. His previous coaching experience included Hitting Coach for the Mississippi Braves, AA affiliate of the Atlanta Braves.
