Coaching Staff

Pete Incaviglia – Manager 

Incaviglia enters his first season with the Railroaders after three years as the manager of the Tri-City ValleyCats in Troy, New York. His coaching career began in 2003 as the hitting coach for the Erie SeaWolves. From 2006 on, Incaviglia has managed every team he’s been on including the Grand Prairie AirHogs, Sugar Land Skeeters, and Laredo Lemurs. The Lemurs were a part of the American Association League during Incavigilia’s tenure where they won the championship in 2015. The Railroaders hired Incaviglia on Oct. 8, 2023. 

Born in Pebble Beach, California, Incaviglia was drafted in the 10th round of the 1982 MLB Amateur Draft by the San Francisco Giants out of Monterey High School but decided to play college baseball instead at Oklahoma State University. In 3 seasons with the Cowboys, he hit 100 home runs and had a slugging percentage of .915. His final year in Stillwater, Oklahoma was historic as he hit 48 home runs on a 1.140 slugging percentage. He still holds the NCAA Division I record for career home runs, home runs in a season, and slugging percentage in a season. He was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007.

Incaviglia was drafted once again in the 1985 MLB draft. He went 8th overall to the Montreal Expos and was later traded to the Texas Rangers. The power-hitter out of Stillwater became the 15th player in MLB history to debut in the majors without ever playing in the minor leagues since the amateur draft began in 1965. Incaviglia played 12 seasons in the majors with over 4,600 plate appearances in 1,284 games. He had 1,043 hits and 206 home runs in his career with the Rangers, Philadelphia Phillies, Baltimore Orioles, Houston Astros, Detroit Tigers, and New York Yankees.

Before his managerial career, Carey was the pitching coach for teams like the Normal CornBelters, Evansville Otters, and Sussex Skyhawks. He returned to Normal in 2013 to become the manager and after five seasons with them, Carey signed with the New Jersey Jackals and won the Can-Am Association League title in 2019. After the 2022 season, Carey joined Incaviglia in Tri-City. 

A pitcher out of Key West, Florida, Carey attended Florida State University and played two seasons with the Seminoles. In his college career, Carey went 17-6 with a 4.21 ERA in 156.1 IP. In the 10th round of the 1978 MLB Amateur Draft, Carey was selected by the Baltimore Orioles. Under the Orioles and Reds minor league system, he played five seasons in the minors and finished his pro career with a record of 37-38, an ERA of 3.75, 31 complete games, and 437 strikeouts. In three of those seasons, Carey struck out over 100 batters, 150 in 1979 was his career high.

With a coaching career dating back to 1983, Jaramillo has managed minor league clubs but is most known for his major league coaching career beginning in 1990. From 1990 to 2012, Jaramillo was the batting coach for the Houston Astros (1990-95), Texas Rangers (1996-09), and Chicago Cubs (2010-12). He’s credited with the development of big league hitters such as Jeff Bagwell, Ivan Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, and Michael Young. He was the first coach in Rangers history to serve more than eight seasons for their major league coaching staff. Jaramillo was inducted into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 and was named Major League Coach of the Year in 2005 by Baseball America.

Jaramillo is a Texas native born in Beeville and attended Sunset High School in Dallas.
