65) Gary DiSarcina

2022 will be Gary DiSarcina the new third base coach for the Washington Nationals.

DiSarcina, 54, spent parts of 12 seasons as an infielder in the majors for the Angels, last playing in the majors in 2000. He joined the Red Sox after he was injured for all of the 2001 season but he never got back to the majors for the team he grew up with (he’s from Massachusetts).

He was a studio analyst for the Red Sox in 2005 and in 2006, he was on the coaching staff for Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic in 2006. He joined the Red Sox as a baseball operations consultant in 2006 before becoming their manager at Single-A for three seasons from 2007 through 2009. In 2010, he was their minor league infield coordinator.

He left the Red Sox after 2010 to rejoin the Angels as a special assistant in 2011. In 2012, he became their field coordinator before he rejoined the Red Sox. He was their Triple-A manager in 2013 before he rejoined the Angels yet again but this time, on their MLB coaching staff.

He was their third base and infield coach from 2014 through 2015 and their first base and infield coach in 2016 before, yet again, joining the Red Sox as their bench coach in 2017.

He changed things up by joining the Mets in 2018 as their bench coach and then from 2019 through 2021, he was their third base and infield coach before the Nationals hired him for the 2022 season.

The Mariners interviewed him for their managerial opening in 2014 (they eventually hired Lloyd McClendon) and the Phillies expressed interest in him in October 2017 when they eventually hired Gabe Kapler but it’s unknown whether or not he interviewed for the job or not.
