One of the most detail-oriented managers in the game who brings both modern thinking and old-school tactics to the table. Known for his aggressive bullpen management and matchup plays, but he's not afraid to call for a squeeze or hit-and-run when the numbers back it up.

His teams are always well-positioned defensively, and you'll rarely catch his defense out of place. Players say he's got a binder full of statistics but still trusts his gut on when to push the action. Not the most aggressive on the basepaths, but he'll take calculated risks when he sees a weakness. Really shines in late-game tactical battles where he can leverage both his matchup preferences and small ball skills.
