The Royals announced 2022 minor league coaching assignments, with much of the staff returning from last year. Omaha will have a new manager to replace the retiring Brian Poldberg, with Scott Thorman promoted to Triple-A after leading the Double-A Naturals last year. Thorman played for the Storm Chasers in 2009 and 2010. Brian Buchanan will serve as hitting coach in Omaha while Dane Johnson will serve as pitching coach and Tommy Shields as bench coach. The Royals are also adding an assistant hitting coach at each level, with Ryan Powers filling that role with the Storm Chasers, after previously serving as a minor league video assistant.
