Coaching Staff

Scott Landers returned as the Braves' field manager for his third season in 2024 after leading the Braves to their second-straight Cape League championship—and third in team history -- in 2023.

Landers has been the baseball head coach/strength and conditioning coordinator at SUNY Oswego since 2011. He joined the Laker staff after serving as the assistant coach at NCAA Division I Le Moyne College for the prior nine seasons. During his tenure at Le Moyne, five Dolphin pitchers signed professional baseball contracts. Two of Landers’ players were named conference pitchers of the year. Overall, Landers coached 21 players at Le Moyne who went on to play professional baseball.

At Cortland, Landers helped guide the Red Dragons to two league titles with unblemished 12-0 conference marks, one regional title and one Division III World Series berth. In 2001 at Broome Community College, Landers guided the Hornets to a 22-19 mark and a New York State Regional berth.

Landers was the pitching coach for the Brewster Whitecaps. In 2020, the Whitecaps allowed the second-fewest earned runs (119) in 304 1/3 innings during the regular season, good for an ERA of 3.52. The Caps also gave up the second-fewest hits (258), ranked second-best in walks allowed (114) and had the fifth-highest strikeout total on the Cape (349).

Landers was a four-year pitcher at Cortland. As a player, Landers helped the Red Dragons to three SUNYAC titles, four regional appearances and three NCAA Division III World Series appearances. Cortland finished third on two occasions and seventh once at the NCAA Division III World Series. As a junior, Landers was named to the 1997 ABCA All-America Third Team.

Landers is father to Cal and Maura.

Kevin Curtin spent his third year with the Bourne Braves serving as the bullpen coach and assistant pitching coach. He was part of the 2022 and 2023 CCBL championship coaching staff, working with the pitchers who led the league in team ERA (3.04) and second in WHIP (1.24). Coach Curtin is the pitching coach for Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) whose 2023 Engineers staff averaged 10 strikeouts per game -- good for the top 10 in the country. He served as an assistant coach at Burlington (Mass.) High School for more than 20 years. After retiring from a successful career in financial services he became the head coach at Nauset Regional High School, leading the Warriors to consecutive Cape and Islands League titles in 2021 and 2022.

As a player, Kevin starred at Burlington High School for his father, legendary coach Jim Curtin, who coached for 52 seasons winning more than 600 games. Kevin went on to pitch for Harvard, where he amassed a .750 winning percentage over his career. He had the fourth-best ERA (0.88) in NCAA Division 1 in 1987. His single season 0.88 ERA still ranks in the top five in the Harvard Crimson record books.

Coach Curtin holds an A.B. in Economics from Harvard and also earned his M.B.A. from the Boston College Carroll School of Management with a concentration in Computer Science and Finance.

Kevin is married to his wife Eileen and they have five adult children -- Michael, Kerry, Dan, Shaun and Meghan.

Tanner Sinicki made his coaching debut on the Cape this season. Sinicki recently graduated from Binghamton, where he was a five-year letterman relief pitcher for the Bearcats and studied psychology. Last August, he was named the director of baseball operations for Binghamton. Before that, Sinicki served as the pitching coach for the Wilmington Sharks of the Coastal Plain League in 2023, helping the Sharks win a division title.

A native of Vestal, N.Y., Sinicki was a three-year varsity starter at Seton Catholic Central High School and helped the team capture three Section 4 Class B championships and a pair of regional championships.

Quinn joined the Bourne staff for his first summer on the Cape. Stromberg attends Auburn University where he is the team’s director of bullpen development. He also serves as the team’s bullpen catcher. Stromberg grew up in Ashburn, Va., where he played second base in high school.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia returned to the Bourne Braves for his third season. Fans will recognize him as a member of the 2013 World Champion Boston Red Sox.

He was drafted in the first round of the MLB Draft by the Atlanta Braves in 2003 and went on to enjoy a 17-year career in the Majors. He is currently the head coach at The King’s Academy in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Jarrod is married to his wife Ashley of 18 years, and they have four daughters: Sidney, 16, Hunter, 15, Sloane, 12 and Charlie, 8.
