"This is the first time that TalkNats has published a separate part of this annual-ish guide for the coaching staff. But these are unusual times. The manager and all but one of his twelve coaches are entirely new to the Washington Nationals organization. All but one of them are younger than the oldest active MLB player. Some confusion, as we try to figure out who's who in the dugout, is understandable."
"The Nationals' new third base coach had a very brief playing career in the low minor leagues before moving into coaching at age 24. He has since been twice decorated as Manager of the Year. Along with coaching and managing in the Milwaukee Brewers organization for well over a decade, he's also been a popular name in the Dominican Baseball League, coaching and managing there during the past few offseasons."
The Washington Nationals have a largely new coaching staff: the manager and all but one of twelve coaches are new to the organization, and most are younger than the oldest active MLB player. Víctor Estévez joins as third-base coach and infield instructor after a brief low-minors playing career and an early move to coaching at age 24. He has twice been named Manager of the Year, spent over a decade in the Brewers' system, and coached in the Dominican Winter League, offering player-development expertise to a young, defensively challenged infield group. Michael Johns, at nearly 51, provides veteran experience to the otherwise youthful staff.
