Former Angels skipper Mike Scioscia has been named manager of the USA Baseball Team for the upcoming Olympics on Tuesday.
Scioscia, 62, will manage a team of minor leaguers in the Baseball Americas Qualifier, which will be played in June 2021. If they advance, Team USA will qualify for the Olympic tournament in Japan later this summer. The previous manager of the Americans was Joe Girardi who stepped down after being hired by the Phillies in 2019.
