LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers officially announced their Minor League coaching staffs for the 2026 season, outlining the managers and support personnel who will lead each affiliate, according to a team press release.
Los Angeles will return six of its seven Minor League managers from the 2025 season, emphasizing stability across the farm system. Scott Hennessey will again manage Triple-A Oklahoma City, Eric Wedge returns at Double-A Tulsa, Jair Fernandez continues with High-A Great Lakes, and John Shoemaker remains in charge of Low-A Ontario.
At the complex and international levels, Fumi Ishibashi will take over as manager of the Arizona Complex League Dodgers, while Leury Bonilla and Sergio Mendez will co-manage the Dominican Summer League Dodgers.
Ishibashi’s promotion marks a notable transition within the organization. A longtime member of the Dodgers system since 2008, he has served in a variety of roles, including bullpen catcher and positional coach, and previously managed at the DSL level in 2019. His appointment reflects the club’s emphasis on internal development and continuity at the entry levels of the system.
The announcement follows another strong season for the Dodgers’ farm system. In 2025, Los Angeles’ Minor League affiliates combined for a .505 winning percentage, marking the organization’s 10th consecutive winning season at the minor league level and the 13th overall best mark in baseball.
Tulsa and Rancho Cucamonga reached the postseason, while Oklahoma City posted 84-plus wins for the third time in four seasons and led the Pacific Coast League with a 45–30 road record.
Individual accomplishments also highlighted the system’s success. Ryan Ward earned Pacific Coast League MVP honors after leading Oklahoma City in home runs, runs batted in, and total bases, becoming the 15th Dodgers minor leaguer to win the award. Outfielder Josue De Paula was named SiriusXM Futures Game MVP after delivering a pivotal three-run home run for the National League.
The Dodgers’ Minor League pipeline again played a critical role at the Major League level, as eight players on the club’s back-to-back World Series roster developed within the system.
That list included Clayton Kershaw, Will Smith, Andy Pages, and Hyeseong Kim, underscoring the organization’s long-standing reputation for player development.
With experienced managers returning and a comprehensive coaching structure in place across all affiliates, the Dodgers enter the 2026 season positioned to maintain both competitive success and a steady flow of Major League-ready talent.
