Former Minnesota Twins bullpen coach Rick Stelmaszek will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the team’s opener next week.

The Twins announced Monday that the longest-tenured coach in club history will take the mound April 3 before the Twins host the Kansas City Royals. Stelmaszek, who was on staff from 1981 through 2012, will throw to current bullpen coach Eddie Guardado. There are only two coaches with longer tenures with one team in major league history, according to the Twins.

The Twins have also scheduled tributes to former Twins minor league pitcher Yorman Landa and former Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura, both of whom died during the offseason as a result of car crashes.
