The Royals announced they have finalized their 2023 coaching staff led by manager Matt Quatraro, who comes over from the Rays. The Royals will return first base coach Damon Hollins and third base coach Vance Wilson, as well as hitting coach Alec Zumwalt and assistant hitting coach Keoni DeRenne.
As previously reported, the Royals have hired Brian Sweeney away from Cleveland to be their pitching coach, with Zach Bove coming over from the Twins to serve as assistant pitching coach and Director of Major League Pitching Strategy. Sweeney had been serving as a bullpen coach in Cleveland and had a reputation for being heavily involved in analytics.
