Brandon Hyde leaned heavily on his contacts around Major League Baseball to put together an experienced coaching staff adept at developing young talent.
The new Orioles manager hired a group of old-school baseball veterans that played key roles as managers, coaches or scouts at both the major league and minor league level.
"I think the people you have around you as a manager are really, really important," Hyde said. "I feel like I've surrounded myself with awesome people, so I feel good about that."
Hyde, however, took the unorthodox approach of not hiring a bench coach. Instead, he will rely on all of his staff to help formulate decisions.
