79) Stubby Clapp
Stubby Clapp is entering his fourth season as the first base coach for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Clapp, 48, got to the majors as a player for St. Louis in 2001 but that was the only season among his nine seasons in the minors. He played two more seasons in independent ball before calling it quits after the 2006 season.
He joined the Astros as their Single-A hitting coach right after retiring and served in that role through 2009. For the 2010 season, he was promoted to be their hitting coach at Double-A before becoming a manager. He was their manager at Short-Season A for two seasons before he left the Astros to join the Blue Jays.
He was their Single-A hitting coach for a single before becoming their Double-A hitting coach for two seasons before joining the Cardinals for the 2017 season. He was their Triple-A manager for two seasons before he was promoted to their MLB coaching staff. In both seasons in Triple-A, his team won the PCL Championship and in 2018, they won the Triple-A Championship.
The Blue Jays considered Clapp for their managerial opening before hiring Charlie Montoyo before the 2019 season (but unconfirmed if he interview) but the Pirates interviewed him before hiring Derek Shelton before the 2020 season and the Cardinals, at least, considered him before they hired Oliver Marmol for their opening this offseason.
