On January 17, 2025, Tom Denlinger was announced as the eighth General Manager of the Hudson Valley Renegades. He joined the Renegades after spending the previous 10 seasons with the Augusta GreenJackets, the Single-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves. Tom served as Augusta’s General Manager from 2014-17, and was elevated to Vice President in 2018. During his time with the GreenJackets, the team opened a new riverfront ballpark, SRP Park, which was named Ballpark Digest’s “Ballpark of the Year” in 2018.
“My family and I are excited for the opportunity to come to Hudson Valley and build on the great legacy the Renegades Baseball has played in the community,” said Denlinger. “We have a great team and a beautiful venue at Heritage Financial Park, and I look forward to joining and continuing our commitment to Find Your Fun."
Outside of baseball, Denlinger served on the steering committee of the North Augusta Miracle League to help fund a new field, raising over $1 million for phase one construction. He also served on numerous community boards, including being Chair of the Augusta Sports Council, Vice Chair of the North Augusta Chamber of Commerce, and helping the North Augusta Family YMCA with fundraising campaigns.
Before his time with the GreenJackets, Denlinger was part of the first front office staff of the Richmond Flying Squirrels, serving as the team’s Assistant General Manager from 2010-13. He has also worked as the Assistant GM for the Daytona Cubs (2007-09), as a Group Sales and Sponsorships Executive for the Delmarva Shorebirds (2004-06) and began his career as an intern for the Reading Phillies in 2003.
A native of Paradise, Pennsylvania, Denlinger graduated from Messiah University with a bachelor’s degree in Sports Management in 2003. He and his wife Molly have a daughter, Grace, and a rescue pup, Belle.
