SAN FRANCISCO — Of the 13 coaches filling out manager Gabe Kapler’s first staff with the San Francisco Giants, only two can consider themselves “insiders.”
Eleven of the baker’s dozen are picking up their lives and moving to a new city while two have devoted most of their professional careers to the franchise.
One is third base coach Ron Wotus, 58, who joined the Giants in 1991 and will now serve his fourth different manager, Gabe Kapler. The other is Alyssa Nakken, 29, who makes history as the first woman to be named a full-time coach on a major league staff.
