Jeffrey Allan Ware (born November 11, 1970) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in parts of two seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB) in 1995 and 1996. During his time in the minor leagues with the Knoxville Smokies, Michael Jordan hit one of his three career home runs off of him.[1] In early 2015, he was named as the pitching coach for the Class-A Lansing Lugnuts.[2] In 2021, Ware was appointed to serve as the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons pitching coach.[3] On July 13, 2022, Ware was promoted by the Blue Jays to interim manager of the Bisons, after Casey Candaele was promoted to interim bench coach of the Blue Jays following the firing of Charlie Montoyo. On July 29, Ware was appointed interim manager of the Bisons for the rest of the season.[4]
