bench coach
Manager's strategic assistant
A bench coach is the assistant to a baseball team's manager, typically sitting beside them in the dugout during games.
The bench coach helps with in-game strategy, manages the dugout, and often serves as acting manager when the manager is ejected or unavailable.
The bench coach called for a pitching change while the manager was suspended.
