Reports: Nationals hire Gary DiSarcina as third base coach

The Washington Nationals have hired Gary DiSarcina away from the New York Mets to be their new third base coach, according to multiple reports.

DiSarcina, 53, will replace Bob Henley, who was reassigned last month to a player development role within the organization.

DiSarcina, who played in the big leagues for 12 years, has been in front office and coaching roles in professional baseball for 20 years. He was the Mets’ bench coach in 2018 and then the team’s third base coach for the past three seasons.
