The Oakland A’s have a new manager, and he has now finished selecting his coaching staff.
The A’s announced their coaches for the 2022 season on Friday, led by rookie skipper Mark Kotsay. The group includes three new additions, while all five remaining incumbents were retained, though some of the holdovers were shifted to different roles.
Here’s the full list:
- Manager: Mark Kotsay
- Bench: Brad Ausmus
- 1st base: Eric Martins
- 3rd base: Darren Bush
- Pitching: Scott Emerson
- Bullpen: Marcus Jensen
- Hitting: Tommy Everidge
- Asst Hitting: Chris Cron
- Quality Control: Mike Aldrete
- Note: Martins also serves as infield coach, and Bush also serves as “run prevention coach”
The shakeup began early in the offseason, when manager Bob Melvin and bench coach Ryan Christenson left for the San Diego Padres.
