The San Francisco Giants, who made an unconventional managerial appointment, add experience to the coaching staff.
Citing sources, “The Athletic” Giants reporter Andrew Bagali said Minnesota Twins bench coach Jace Tingler will join the San Francisco coaching staff on the 6th (Korea time).
Tingler coached with the San Diego Padres before working as a Minnesota coach.

He led the team to the postseason with 37 wins and 23 losses in 2020, which was held with a 60-game shortened season, but in the 2021 season, which was also Kim Ha-sung’s big league debut season, he failed to advance to the postseason with 79 wins and 83 losses and was dismissed.
The failure of 2021 was so painful. At one point, he seemed to advance to the postseason easily with +17 in a .500 winning percentage, but he was sluggish with 7 wins and 21 losses since September and was eliminated from the postseason.
He also failed to take control of the team. During the game, Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. were seen arguing in the dugout.
After that, he was appointed as Minnesota bench coach in November 2021 and assisted manager Rocco Baldelli. When Baldelli left due to the novel coronavirus infection disease, he was also a temporary director.

Tingler will assist new coach Tony Bytelo, who has no experience as a professional stage coach, as well as Major League Baseball. It is common in Major League Baseball to have a coach with experience joining for an inexperienced new coach.
Among them, there is a separate reason why Tingler was chosen. Tingler and Bytelo were teammates at the University of Missouri and remain close to this day.
Bagali, who broke the news, said it was a “very predictable result.”
On the other hand, Vaitello said at a previous inauguration press conference, “You don’t have to be the smartest, most experienced, best coach.” The important thing is that everyone works with one mind. Klitsch, who said “pull the string in the same direction,” said, “It exists for a reason,” signaling that he will consist of people who are in common with him.
