Former Phillies manager Gabe Kapler discusses a time he was didn’t get his way in Philadelphia
Just six years ago, Kai Correa was a coach for his Division III alma mater Puget Sound; then, he became an assistant coach for four seasons at the Division I-ranked Northern Colorado. In 2018, Correa jumped to professional baseball with the Cleveland Indians organization, serving as a low-level minor-league infield coach that season, and as a minor-league defensive coordinator in 2019.
The 31-year-old’s quick rise to the Major League Baseball level, now as bench coach and infield/baserunning instructor for the 2020 season under new San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler, could have looked a lot different if the skipper got his way in Philadelphia.
