Dodgers Announce 2023 Minor League Coaching Staffs

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers announced their Minor League coaching staffs for the 2023 season with Travis Barbary (Oklahoma City), Scott Hennessey (Tulsa), Daniel Nava (Great Lakes), John Shoemaker (Rancho Cucamonga), Jair Fernandez (Arizona Complex League Dodgers), Dunior Zerpa and Cordell Hipolito (Dominican Summer League Dodgers) all leading their respective squads.

Six of the seven managers return to their affiliates in 2023, while Daniel Nava will take over for Great Lakes in his first season as the Loons’ skipper. Nava, 39, played parts of seven seasons in the Major Leagues with Boston (2010-15), Tampa Bay (2015), Los Angeles - AL (2016), Kansas City (2016) and Philadephia (2017), hitting a combined .266 with 29 homers and 206 RBI. He played in a career-best 134 games in 2013 for the Red Sox, setting career-highs in doubles (29), homers (12), RBI (66) and OPS (.831). The Northern California native was originally signed by the Boston Red Sox as a non-drafted free agent in 2007 from the independent Golden Baseball League Chico Outlaws.

Last season, the Dodger minor league affiliates recorded a combined .545 winning percentage (393-328) with six of the seven squads finishing the regular season with a winning record, including playoff berths by the Tulsa Drillers, Great Lakes Loons and the Dominican Summer League Dodgers. It is the seventh straight season that the Dodger affiliates have posted a winning mark and are a combined 2,986-2,528 (.542) since their last losing season in 2013. The Dodgers were the only Major League organization to have six affiliates post a winning record last season, while recording the fourth best mark by an organization, trailing only the Tampa Bay Rays (.576), Colorado Rockies (.549) and New York Yankees (.548).

In 2022, the Dodgers had four Major League debuts, including James Outman, Miguel Vargas, Michael Grove and Ryan Pepiot, who were all signed or drafted by Los Angeles. The Dodgers qualified rookie pitchers went a combined 4-0 with a 3.51 ERA (19 ER/65.2 IP) and 66 strikeouts, while the rookie hitters hit a combined .233 (14-for-60) with three doubles, two homers and 11 RBI.
