The Dodgers announced their full coaching staff this week. Most of manager Dave Roberts’ staff is coming back, but there are a few alterations. First base coach Clayton McCullough departed to take the skipper job with the Marlins and will be replaced by Chris Woodward. Third base coach Dino Ebel will also take up a role working with outfielders. MLBTR covered those two developments in November. The club also announced this week that Brandon McDaniel joins the staff as major league development integration coach.
McDaniel, 41, is not new to the organization. He has been working various roles throughout the system over the years, often working in the realm of strength and conditioning. For the past few years, he has had the title of vice president of player performance. He will now have an official role on the staff for what will be his 13th year working for the club at the big league level.
The rest of the staff will be filled out by Danny Lehmann, Bob Geren, Mark Prior, Robert Van Scoyoc, Aaron Bates, Connor McGuiness and Josh Bard, with all of them returning to their previous roles.
