The Dodgers’ coaching staff will have a new look in 2016 compared to last season. How the two compare:
2015 2016
New Dodgers manager Dave Roberts at last has a coaching staff.
The new-look group includes pitching coach Rick Honeycutt and seven newcomers: Hitting coach Turner Ward, assistant hitting coach Tim Hyers, first base coach George Lombard, third base coach Chris Woodward, bullpen coach Josh Bard and quality assurance coach Juan Castro.
Maybe the biggest surprise was a name not on the list: Gabe Kapler.
Kapler, the runner-up for the manager’s job, is returning for a second year as the club’s director of player development.
