Coach (baseball)

In baseball, a number of coaches help make a team work properly. They are assistants to the manager, who determines the lineup and decides how to substitute players during the game. More than a half dozen coaches may assist the manager in running the team. Some common coaching positions include the following: first base coach, third base coach, hitting coach, pitching coach, bench coach, and bullpen coach.
