Mike Scioscia could look to returning to managing in the majors after managing nearly two decades in the majors with the Los Angeles Angels.

Scioscia, 63, played was a catcher in the majors for parts of 13 seasons and was an All-Star twice. After retiring, he became the bench coach for the Dodgers in 1997 and 1998. He went down to the minors in 1999 to get some managerial experience at the Triple-A level before the Angels hired him as their manager for the 2000 season.

He managed them through the 2018 season. In over 3000 games managed, Scioscia had a .536 winning percentage and got to the postseason seven times, including their only World Series appearance and win as a franchise in 2002. The Angels have been a team since 1961 and they have only made it to the postseason 10 times.

Scioscia was the AL Manager of the Year twice and got Manager of the Year votes in 11 other seasons as well. Many of Scioscia’s coaches ended up becoming managers too including Joe Maddon, Bud Black, and Ron Roenicke.

Scioscia managed the U.S. team in the Olympics in 2021 for the 2020 Olympics and the Padres interviewed him this offseason before they went with Bob Melvin so Scioscia still wants to manage if a team will give him another shot.
