Though the White Sox are still searching for pitching and hitting coaches at the Major League level, they are beginning to fill positions elsewhere in the organization.
According to a post on X, College of Central Florida pitching coach JC Scanner has accepted a coaching position with the team. Specifics of his role are not yet known and have not been made official by the White Sox.
Scanner originally hails from Mississippi, where he won two state championships with Oak Grove High School. He went on to pitch collegiately for Pearl River Community College, twice earning All-State selections, before serving as a weekend starter at Northwestern State. He completed his history degree at William Carey University in 2019 and was named to First-Team All-Conference.
Following his playing days, Scanner spent 2021 working in player development within the Twins organization. He worked as a player development associate in the Phillies organization the following year, before taking over as Davidson’s director of player development in 2023. He also coached in the Valley Baseball Collegiate Summer League and was named the Assistant Coach of the Year.
The pitching coach most recently spent the 2024-25 seasons at the College of Central Florida, one of the nation’s top JUCO programs. Marty Smith, head coach of the program, shared that three of the club’s last five pitching coaches have gone on to land jobs in professional baseball. The College of Central Florida notably saw two pitchers selected in the 2025 MLB Draft under Scanner’s guidance.
The White Sox will likely continue to make similar additions to their coaching staff, specifically within the minor leagues, to help fill voids left by several notable departures. Coaches like Sergio Santos, Nicky Delmonico, and Blake Hickman are among the names not returning in 2026, which could result in some additional reshuffling as well.
