SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Tom Goodwin played in the major leagues for 14 seasons. And he has served as first-base coach for the New York Mets since 2011.
Now, the 48-year-old Goodwin is ready for a relatively new experience. Goodwin will make his debut as manager of the Scottsdale Scorpions in the Arizona Fall League on Tuesday afternoon. He will lead a group of prospects from the Mets, Yankees, Angels, Phillies and Giants.
"It's always good to have on your resume," said Goodwin, whose only previous managerial experience came in 2007 with the Lewisville (Texas) Lizards, in their lone season of existence in the short-lived Continental Baseball League.
