"The Dodgers announced their minor league coaching staffs on Thursday, with two recently-retired MLB players joining the ranks. is joining the Triple-A Oklahoma City staff as an outfield coach and assistant hitting coach, while Michael Hermosillo will be an outfield and baserunning coach for the high-A ball Great Lakes Loons. In Hermosillo's case, the news seems to act as a retirement announcement for the former outfielder, who just turned 31 last month."
"Hermosillo hasn't played anywhere since suiting up in the Mexican Winter League during the 2023-24 offseason, and his last taste of affiliated ball came in the form of 66 games with the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate in 2023. A 28th-round pick for the Angels in the 2013 draft, Hermosillo spent his first three (2018-20) big league seasons in a Halos uniform. The Angels outrighted Hermosillo following the 2020 campaign, and after signing with the Cubs, Hermosillo made 47 appearances for Chicago over the next two seasons."
"While not considered a top prospect during his time in the minors, Hermosillo got himself onto the radar with some strong numbers on the farm, including a .262/.355/.492 slash line, 56 home runs, and 42 steals (in 59 tries) over 1194 PA at the Triple-A level. Between his speed and all-fields ability in the outfield, Hermosillo seems well-suited to impart his wisdom with the next generation of Dodgers prospects."
The Dodgers filled minor-league coaching staffs with two recently-retired big leaguers joining the organization. Michael Hermosillo will serve as an outfield and baserunning coach for the High-A Great Lakes Loons. Hermosillo has not played since the 2023-24 Mexican Winter League and last appeared in affiliated ball with 66 Triple-A games for the Yankees in 2023. Hermosillo was a 28th-round pick by the Angels in 2013 and played parts of three MLB seasons with Los Angeles. His MLB line was .167/.268/.283 over 229 plate appearances, while his Triple-A totals included a .262/.355/.492 slash, 56 home runs and 42 steals. Seth Dahl announced his retirement in December after seven MLB seasons and a 2019 All-Star selection, and his new coaching role represents a return to the Dodgers organization.
