One coach will be back — pitching coach Jim Hickey was informed that he will return in the same role in 2024, multiple people confirmed. The futures of four other coaches remain uncertain: hitting coach Darnell Coles, run prevention coordinator Ricky Gutiérrez, catching & strategy coach Henry Blanco and bullpen coach Ricky Bones.
A Nationals spokeswoman declined to comment on the moves, citing a team policy not to publicly discuss personnel. The Athletic was the first to report the moves.Bogar had the longest tenure with the Nationals, joining the team ahead of the 2018 season as the team’s first base coach. Bogar, Hickey and Martinez were close from their days on Joe Maddon’s staff with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2008. Bogar was moved to bench coach ahead of the 2020 season.
But perhaps the most significant decision is the retention of Hickey, allowing him to continue to lead a young pitching staff that the Nationals hope takes another step in its development next season, specifically young starters Josiah Gray, MacKenzie Gore and Jake Irvin. Cade Cavalli is expected to join the mix after missing this year following Tommy John surgery in March. Hickey, 61, has been the pitching coach since 2021.
