USA Baseball named former Los Angeles Dodgers World Series champion Mike Scioscia its manager for the 2021 Professional National Team.
Scioscia, who also won a World Series title as manager for the L.A. Angels, will look to guide Team USA to a berth in the Tokyo Olympic Games this summer. “I am extremely honored and excited to lead Team USA this year,” he said in a statement.
“I am looking forward to the privilege of wearing the USA jersey and I know every member of our team will feel the same way. It is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that will hopefully end with the USA winning an Olympic gold medal!
