ALT It started in Penfield. Jason Kanzler was a three-year varsity letterwinner and team captain at Penfield High School, playing outfield and pitching and earning first-team All-Greater Rochester honors. At the University at Buffalo, he arrived as a walk-on and became the 2013 MAC Player of the Year. The Twins selected him in the 20th round that year. Photo shows Kanzler batting for Buffalo.

ALT A different path to the dugout. Jason Kanzler played in the Twins minor league system from 2013 to 2015, then taught chemistry and physics in Katy, Texas. He joined the Astros major league staff and won the 2022 World Series. He led Cubs player development from 2024 to 2026, working with fellow Rochester-area native Ben Martin. On November 3, 2026, he was hired as Seattle Mariners manager. Team logo stickers and a science beaker illustrate his journey beneath a photo of Kanzler with the Cubs.
