## Career[edit]

Haines attended Eastern Illinois University, and played college baseball for the Eastern Illinois Panthers as a catcher.[1] After graduating from Eastern Illinois, he served as an assistant for the baseball team at Olney Central College. He joined the Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) baseball team as a graduate assistant in 2002. He spent three years at Middle Tennessee, earning a master's degree.[2]

Haines spent two years as the manager of the summer-collegiate Waterloo Bucks in 2003 and 2004, and served as a hitting coach with the independent-league Gary SouthShore RailCats of the Northern League in 2005 and 2006. He debuted as a manager for the Windy City ThunderBolts of the independent Frontier League in 2007. He became a hitting coach in the Miami Marlins' organization in 2008, working for the Gulf Coast Marlins of the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League. The next year, he managed the Jamestown Jammers of the Class A-Short Season New York-Penn League. Haines managed the Greensboro Grasshoppers of the Class A South Atlantic League in 2010 and 2011, leading the team to the league's championship in 2011. The next two seasons, he managed the Jupiter Hammerheads of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League. He managed the New Orleans Zephyrs of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League in 2014 and 2015.[3] In 2016, the Cubs hired Haines as their minor league hitting instructor.[4] After the 2017 season, the Cubs promoted him to their major league staff as their assistant hitting coach.[5]

Haines left the Cubs to become hitting coach for the Milwaukee Brewers in November 2018.[6] The Brewers fired Haines after the 2021 season,[7] and he was hired as the hitting coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates.[8][9]
