The San Francisco Giants have hired pitching analyst Matt Daniels to join the staff of new president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi, who vowed when hired in November to find a wide array of experts to help the club.

Now, he has a data-focused staff member to aid in pitching training.

Daniels announced Tuesday he was leaving his position in Seattle as pitching coordinator of Driveline Baseball to join the Giants, calling it "such an incredible opportunity."
