2026 will mark the first season for the Giants under manager Tony Vitello. He served as Tennessee's head coach from 2018-25.
Vitello faced Cincinnati four times as the Vols' head coach. He was 4-0 and defeated the Bearcats in the 2025 NCAA Tournament Knoxville Regional.
"A big X factor in this whole thing was being around someone like him," Vitello said of the Giants and president of baseball operations Buster Posey when being introduced as manager on Oct. 30. "To leave where I was at was not easy. We kind of touched on that already. It had to be a certain set of circumstances that would even be considered, and ultimately what this was about was, some personal introspective, two words that I diagnosed were risk and challenge, and they both are kind of the same thing."
