The rookie-level Ogden Raptors, the Dodgers’ short-season affiliate in the Pioneer League, starts its season on Monday night, beginning a 76-game schedule.
Ogden has a new manager in Mark Kertenian, a longtime college coach at Cal State Northridge, Nevada, and Florida International, who joined the Dodgers organization in December.
“Having players drafted and signed, and having them return and talk to me about their experiences, it was becoming evident ... that the Dodgers and how they’re developing their farm system and staffs was the best,” Kertenian told Brett Hein of the Standard Examiner in Ogden.
