The Angels, to which Shohei Ohtani belongs, have signed a one-year contract with Nevin as acting manager next season.
This was announced by the Angels before their final game on the 5th.
When the Angels suffered 12 consecutive losses in June this year, Maddon was dismissed due to poor performance, and acting third base coach Nevin was in command of the team.
Since then, the team has not been able to rise to the top, finishing third in the Western American League with a record of 73 wins and 88 losses, and missed the playoffs for eight consecutive years. In preparation for the next season, the team worked to raise the level of its strength, and at the end of the season, they recorded the longest winning streak of the season.
Acting manager Nevin said, “After last night's game, Minassian general manager called me and told me.
51-year-old acting manager Nevin played an active role as a slugging infielder, hitting 208 home runs in total during his active career. There was also a scene where I was overwhelmed with emotion as I remembered the way to.
The Angels are considering selling the team and it is difficult to invite a new manager before the next owner is decided, so next season they will aim to advance to the playoffs for the first time in nine years under manager Nevin.
