Career
Cornelius was born in Thomasville, Alabama to Ted, a school principal, and Ila Cornelius, a teacher's aide. His older brother, Pat, played college baseball at Auburn. He maintained a 97.6 grade average at Thomasville High School. He planned to play college baseball at Mississippi State but chose instead to begin a professional career after being taken in the eleventh round of the 1988 Major League Baseball draft by the Montreal Expos and receiving a signing bonus of $225,000 (equivalent to $580,000 in 2023).[1] According to his father, it was the largest contract ever given to a high school draftee.[2] He began his professional career with the Rockford Expos of the Midwest League.[3]
Cornelius was the Marlins bullpen coach from 2010 to 2016. He was named the pitching coach for the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves prior to the 2017 season.[4]
