The Baltimore Orioles named former Chicago Cubs bench coach Brandon Hyde the 20th manager in club history Dec. 14.
"After conducting an intensive search, I believe that we have found the ideal leader for the next era of Orioles baseball," Baltimore executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said in a news release. "Brandon’s deep background in player development and major league coaching, most recently helping to shape the Cubs into a world champion, has thoroughly prepared him for this job and distinguished him throughout our interview process.
"I look forward to introducing him to our fans next week and to working together with him to build the next great Orioles team."
