Manager: Yao-Qing Yuan
Manager Spotlight: Yao-Qing Yuan – The Mastermind in His Final Chapter
At 53 years old, Yao-Qing Yuan stands as one of the most respected and well-rounded managers in the game. Hailing from China, Yuan has quietly built a legacy over his career, compiling a solid 632–598 overall record. While he may not be a household name globally, within the baseball world, his reputation is that of a legendary developer of talent.
Yuan’s coaching toolkit is deep and versatile:
•
Mechanics & Fundamentals – His ability to refine player mechanics and teach the game’s nuances has elevated countless careers.
•
High Baseball IQ – Known for his sharp in-game decision-making, Yuan reads the game with precision and adapts fluidly under pressure.
•
Elite Base Running Instruction – Players under Yuan learn to run with intent, awareness, and aggression.
•
Dual Threat: Hitting & Pitching Coach – While most specialize in one area, Yuan is praised for his ability to enhance both offensive and pitching development.
•
Outstanding Defense at All Levels – From behind the plate to the outfield grass, his defensive systems are among the best in the league. His teams are consistently among the top in catcher framing, infield efficiency, and outfield positioning.
Now entering the final year of his current contract, the future remains uncertain. Will this be Yuan’s farewell tour, or is another chapter still to be written?
What’s clear: his impact on the game will last long after his last out is recorded. Whether you’re a player, coach, or fan, there’s something to learn from Yao-Qing Yuan.
Bench Coach: Dawit Taji
Coach Profile: Dawit Taji – The Quiet Architect from Ivory Coast
At 50 years old, Dawit Taji brings wisdom, discipline, and a developmental mindset to the dugout. Serving as a bench coach in the final year of his contract, Taji is one of the most respected supporting minds in the game, known for his steady presence and behind-the-scenes contributions.
Born in the Ivory Coast, Taji brings a unique international perspective to baseball leadership. His career has been defined by player development, longevity management, and a balanced approach to all aspects of the game.
Coaching Breakdown:
•
Excellent at Handles Development – Taji has a sharp eye for helping players refine and sharpen their tools, especially in transitional or utility roles. Players often credit him with “unlocking” the little things that elevate their performance.
•
Outstanding at Aging Management – One of his greatest strengths. Taji knows how to adjust workloads, tailor training, and extend players’ productivity well into their 30s.
•
Good in Multiple Areas:
• Teaching Hitting – Sound fundamentals, strong focus on timing and approach.
• In-Game Running – Reads the field well, not flashy but effective.
• Infield & Outfield Defense – Solid positioning work and reliable glove instruction.
•
Average in Running Development & Influence – Not a basepath specialist, but not a liability either. His athletes don’t lead the league in steals, but they run smart.
•
OK in Pitching and Catching Instruction – These are areas where Taji leans more on his specialist coaches, but he still provides a stable foundation when needed.
⸻
While he may not grab headlines, Dawit Taji is the kind of coach every manager values deeply — dependable, developmental, and disciplined. With his contract expiring, teams will no doubt take notice if he hits the open market. He could easily step into a managerial role or continue to serve as a pivotal piece of a winning staff.
