Coaching & Staff

The full staff

• Manager — sets clubhouse tone and affects overall team performance.
• Hitting Coach — boosts batter development and slump recovery.
• Pitching Coach — reduces pitcher fatigue and improves control.
• Bench & Bullpen Coaches — specialty roles that support strategy execution.
• Farm Director — accelerates prospect development across all four affiliates.

Specialties

Every coach carries a specialty — power hitting, plate discipline, control, velocity, defense, prospect development. Match the specialty to your roster gap and you'll see measurable results.

Budget matters

Coaching costs come out of your operations budget, not player payroll. Elite coaches command real money, so contending teams have to choose between a star hitting coach and one more veteran arm.

Firing and rebuilding

When results stagnate, cleaning house is a legitimate move. Fired coaches enter the free-coach pool. Rival GMs will move fast on the best ones.
