Dodgers Move Danny Lehmann To Bench Coach

By Anthony Franco | February 1, 2023 at 2:56pm CDT

The Dodgers announced their 2023 coaching staff this afternoon (link via Dodger Insider). The biggest news is the hiring of Danny Lehmann as bench coach, his first time serving as Dave Roberts’ top assistant.

Lehmann, 37, is a graduate of Rice University. He spent some time in the Twins’ minor league system, reaching Triple-A for parts of four seasons. After a seven-year professional playing career, he transitioned to executive work by 2015. Initially hired by the Dodgers as a video scout, he worked his way up to game planning/communications coach on Roberts’ staff. He’s held that position in four of the last five years — with an intervening 2019 stint as a front office special assistant — and now looks set to shoulder his largest responsibility for the organization.

He’ll replace Bob Geren in that role. The veteran coach moves to major league field coordinator for his eighth season in the organization. Geren had been L.A. bench coach for the past seven years. He remains on the big league staff but vacates the bench coach position.

The rest of Los Angeles’ staff had been previously reported. Mark Prior is back as pitching coach, while Robert Van Scoyoc and Aaron Bates will share hitting coach duties. Josh Bard is back as bullpen coach, with Clayton McCullough and Dino Ebel coaching the bases. Connor McGuiness returns as Prior’s assistant pitching coach. There is no new hire to fill Lehmann’s previous role.

    I always wondered who the long haired dude was in the Dodgers dugout. Bench coach is second in command. Kudos!

    Lehman’s jobs are still front office special assistant and planning/communications. Only now he’ll be communicating the front office’s planning directly from the bench into Roberts’ ear if I read this article correctly.

      Going by the photo, it looks like he’s been in the dugout for the last season at least. I was slow on that until poster above pointed out his apparent familiar appearance.

    I bought Lehman stock the day before it collapsed. Anyone here need financial advice?
