The World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers have officially revealed their 2025 Major League coaching staff under manager Dave Roberts, featuring evolved roles for Dino Ebel, Brandon McDaniel and Chris Woodward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ebel, 58, begins his seventh season as the Dodgers\u2019 third-base coach with a focus on coaching outfielders during the season. McDaniel, 41, the Dodgers\u2019 Vice President of Player Performance, officially joins the coaching staff as Major League Development Integration Coach. He is entering his 13th season at the Major League level for the Dodgers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

As previously announced, Woodward, 48, takes over as first-base coach and infield coaching specialist, after spending last season as a Dodgers senior advisor to Major League and Player Development. He succeeds Clayton McCullough, who became the manager of the Miami Marlins during the offseason. This is Woodward\u2019s second stint on the coaching staff, having served as the Dodgers\u2019 third-base coach from 2016-2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
