Biography:
Jeff Waldron, a graduate of Lynn Classical High School and an assistant coach on the Classical Varsity Baseball Team, was the captain at Boston College before spending six years in the Boston Red Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Texas Rangers organizations.
Waldron ascended to the Triple-A Pacific Coast League in 2002 with the Tucson Sidewinders, a Diamondbacks affiliate, and in 2004 with Oklahoma City, a Rangers affiliate.
“Jeff Waldron is the right man for the Navigators, for Lynn, and for our entire organization moving forward,” said Peter Delani, the second year General Manager of the Navigators and former major league scout with the Colorado Rockies and Cincinnati Reds.
“His baseball pedigree—having starred at Boston College, the Cape Cod League, and in the minor leagues,” Delani continued, “is impeccable and will play a critical role in the development of our players and the opportunities presented to them.
“Beyond that, he is an outstanding person who comes from a great family with deep Lynn roots, and he will help the Navigators connect with multiple constituencies throughout the Lynn community.”
Waldron, a catcher during his playing years, competed professionally through 2005. As the captain of the 1999 Boston College Eagles, Waldron hit .399 with seven home runs, 33 RBI, and 46 runs scored. For his efforts, including a team-high 15 doubles, Waldron earned All-Region honors in the Northeast and was selected in the 18th round of the MLB Draft by the Red Sox. |
