The Los Angeles Dodgers formally announced coaching staffs for their Minor League affiliates for the 2018 season, which for Double-A Tulsa included Scott Hennessey returning as manager. He was named interim manager last July when Ryan Garko resigned to take a head coaching position at the University of the Pacific.
Hitting coach Terrmel Sledge and coach Leo Garcia remain on the Drillers staff. Meanwhile, Dave Borkowski, technology/development coach Peter Summerville, trainer Kalie Swain and performance coach Shaun Alexander are new hires for the 2018 campaign.
Hennessey becomes the Drillers’ 23rd full-time manager. The team went 27-13 under his direction to close out the 2017 regular season, earning a Texas League North Division second-half title.
