Cartersville, Georgia native
Connor Justus makes the leap from Single-A Augusta to High-A Rome in 2025 and
will be the team’s hitting coach. Justus returns to the city where his college
coaching career began when he was an assistant under David Beasley at Berry
College in 2023.
Justus was a Third Team All-ACC shortstop in his final year at Georgia Tech, where he started in every one of his three seasons (2014-16). The Los Angeles Angels selected Justus in the fifth round of the 2016 MLB First Year Player Draft and employed him through the 2019 minor league season. He would retire from professional baseball in July of 2022 after a little over a year in the Miami Marlins system, reaching as high as Triple-A Jacksonville in his final season.
