Angels To Hire Bo Porter As First Base Coach

By Anthony Franco | November 13, 2023 at 11:17pm CDT

The Angels are hiring Bo Porter as their first base coach, tweets Britt Ghiroli of the Athletic. Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported this afternoon that the veteran coach was a candidate to join Ron Washington’s staff.

Porter, 51, played parts of three seasons in the majors around the turn of the century. He has spent the better part of the last two decades in coaching or administrative roles. Porter logged time on MLB staffs in Florida, Arizona and Washington before he was tabbed as manager of the Astros in September 2012. He was at the helm in Houston for just under two seasons.

At the time, the Astros were near the nadir of the rebuild that eventually produced the core of their success of the past eight years. Houston went 110-190 (36.7% win percentage) before Porter was fired. He’d go on to join the Braves as third base coach the following season. Porter held that role until Atlanta hired Washington, a move that bumped Porter into the front office. He subsequently spent time in broadcasting and has consulted with MLB in coaching development.

Porter now jumps back onto an MLB staff, where he’ll join the likes of Ryan Goins and Eric Young. Ghiroli reports that Porter had interviewed for the managerial job before the Halos tabbed Washington.

      I’m hoping it’s Benji Gil or Clint Hurdle as the bench coach.

      Rendon is the bench coach. Rimshot.

        Rendon will be a hemorrhoid on the bench.

        Torii said he doesn’t want to coach but he would be open to a front office job as an advisor. The pitching coach is the biggest hire. I hope it will be Troy Percival.

      Yeah I like these coaching moves. Perry needs to get creative with key trades. We know Shohei is gone, so if you’re going to make anything out of these Trout years, you’re going to need a creative GM. There are a ton of holes to fill and FA signings are not going to solve them.

    Allegedly Porter has known Rendon since he was 13, and they are somewhat friends. Hopefully he can screw his head back on

    Absolutely loved Wash when he managed the Rangers. His enthusiasm is infectious, and he’s well known for developing players. I’m stoked I’ll get to watch him a lot more now against the Rangers,
    and it’s trippy that it’s Bruce Bochy managing the Rangers against Washington now. Long may they both reign!

    Porter was highly respected in Washington serving in various roles, from the coaching staff to the booth. Best of luck to Bo.

    I once ate lunch at a restaurant that served Chili Davis and Bo Porter 3 weeks prior.

    Sorry, poking fun at previous posts.

    Too bad they didn’t hire Torii Hunter, then, instead.
