Marty Beckwith
A calculating manager who plays the early game cautiously but gets increasingly aggressive with defensive alignments and shifts as the game goes on. Notable for how his infield positioning becomes more extreme in the later innings. Takes a measured approach to baserunning but is more willing to use shifting and tactical plays as the pressure builds. Shows interesting contrast between conservative offense and aggressive defense in critical moments. Really believes in defensive positioning as his key strategic weapon.
George Wilson
Manages by the book early but becomes much more focused on matchups and tactical advantage as the game goes on. Pretty standard with most strategies early in games but gets notably more aggressive with intentional walks and guarding lines in the late innings. Really emphasizes platoon advantages in critical situations. Patient with both starters and relievers throughout, but will lean heavily on matchups when the game's on the line in the 9th.
Ben Monroe
Modern-minded manager who emphasizes defensive shifts and patient at-bats. Pretty aggressive with baserunning and bunts for hits frequently, but conservative with most other small ball tactics. Notable for how he uses infield and outfield shifts while being patient with his pitchers. Not afraid to use pinch hitters for his pitchers but overall takes a balanced approach to substitutions
