Miami hired former Barry (Fla.) player and coach Rey Fuentes on Monday to replace assistant coach Gino DiMare, who left in June for family reasons. Fuentes will work with Miami’s outfielders and hitters and coach first base. Fuentes is very familiar with South Florida, having played high school ball at MIami’s Coral Park High before spending four years at Barry as a player and six as an assistant.

"I’m excited about the addition of Rey Fuentes to our coaching staff," Hurricanes coach Jim Morris said. "He’s a hard-working coach that has a great understanding of the game and is as organized as they come. I have no doubt he’ll fit right in at Miami."
