Biographical Information

Stan Boroski has been a player, scout, and coach.

Boroski was picked by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 20th round of the 1981 amateur draft, one selection after Vince Coleman was taken. Stan hit .288/.356/.333 as the backup catcher in 1982 for the Pikeville Brewers. In 1983, he was only 6 for 82 with a double, 5 walks and 35 strikeouts with the Beloit Brewers. Milwaukee let him go. The Kansas City Royals signed him and made him into a pitcher.

Stan was 3-2 with four saves and a 4.38 ERA for the 1985 GCL Royals. He spent 1986 with the Fort Myers Royals, going 4-7 with a 4.07 ERA. He had a 4-3, 3.69 record for Fort Myers in 1987 when his playing career ended due to injury.

Boroski scouted for the Houston Astros from 1991-1993, then was a coach for them at several different levels. In some years he combined scouting and coaching. Boroski coached the GCL Astros at some point prior to 2000. He was the pitching coach for the Martinsville Astros in 2000, the Michigan Battle Cats in 2001-2002, the Salem Avalanche in 2003-2006, and the Corpus Christi Hooks from 2007-2009. He expected to return to Corpus Christi in 2010 before he received an offer he could not refuse.

In 2010, he joined the Tampa Bay Rays as assistant to the pitching coach Jim Hickey. He stayed in this role through the 2011 season. From July until the end of the 2011 season, Boroski took on additional duties as the club's interim bullpen coach. The Rays named Boroski to the full-time bullpen coaching position in 2012 where he remained until his retirement following the 2022 season.
