If you’ve ever watched a spring training baseball game you probably noticed it.
The manager and his coaches are typically sitting outside the dugout, closer to home plate, sitting in chairs, usually behind a protective netting.
For Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward and his coaches, it’s all about the view.
Although some managers and coaches may have other reasons for being sans dugout such as privacy to discuss personnel and space limitations with expanded rosters often filling the small spring training dugouts, the main reason is clearly the viewing angle.
