The Los Angeles Dodgers recently finalized their 2019 coaching staffs for each Minor League affiliate. While many holdovers remain in place, a fair share of new additions have joined the organization as well.
Such holds true for the Rookie-level Arizona League Dodgers, who have a new manager for the 2019 season in Jair Fernandez. Entering his third year in the organization, Fernandez spent the past two seasons serving as hitting coach for Low-A Great Lakes.
Another newcomer to the Rookie-level Arizona League Dodgers coaching staff is pitching coach Stephanos Stroop. It marks his first Minor League coaching position after previously holding the same role for Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, La.
