"I am very excited to work with the Boyd Sports group, Major League Baseball, and USA Baseball this summer as we bring a new brand of baseball to the Appalachian League," said Regier. "It is a privilege to be named the Flyboys Manager. After spending nearly 40 years in the game as a player, coach, and scout, as well as in player development, this position offers a unique opportunity to work directly with some of the best young baseball players out there. I hope you join me jumping on board with the Prospect Development Pipeline (PDP) and I will see you at the yard."
