"After bringing in Paul Toboni to be the new leader of the organization moving forward as the President of Baseball Operations, he had to completely start from scratch in terms of finding a big league coaching staff that is current with modern teachings. This is something the previous regime lacked, and it ended up costing them their jobs in the end."
"That would be Shawn O'Malley, not the famous UFC fighter, but a former utility man most known for his time with the Seattle Mariners awhile back. He is just 37-years-old, not much older than any of the other coaches the Nationals have hired this offseason, and he will be serving as the other new assistant hitting coach. Alongside him will be Andrew Aydt, who was hired earlier this offseason for the same position."
"One thing is certainly different between the new hires and the old ones, and that is the overall age of the recent hires, as well as the number of coaches that are going to be involved with the club. This is now the largest uniformed coaching staff in the history of the Nationals' organization, and their newest hire is another younger mind on the rise."
Paul Toboni was hired as President of Baseball Operations and rebuilt the big-league coaching staff to align with modern teachings. He hired 33-year-old Blake Butera as manager and assembled the largest uniformed coaching staff in franchise history. The new staff emphasizes youth and modern instruction after previous coaches were considered outdated and partly responsible for recent failures. Shawn O'Malley, a 37-year-old former utility man best known for his time with the Seattle Mariners, was hired as assistant hitting coach alongside Andrew Aydt. The organization aims to improve coaching quality while free-agent investment plans remain uncertain.
