Best coaches in OOTP?

It's super time consuming to go through all of the coaches and check their ratings. Does anyone have a list of who the best coaches are in OOTP 20?

Doesn't much matter, because they'll retire, and anyone with any experience will flat out refuse to coach in the minors. FWIW, Mike Maddux is the best pitching coach.

For best results, you may want to spend a little time. What I do, is take my top rated prospects, and tailor the coach to meet their skill set. I had a pitcher, considered a power pitcher; so I hired a pitching coach, who focused on power pitching.

It doesn't look like Maddux is the best pitching coach. John Farrell has better ratings.

Managers
Hisashi Iwata
Miguel Centena
Matthew Johnson
Eichiro Umaba
Carl Gadd
Kohei Tanaka

Pitching Coaches
John Farrel
Ieyoshi Ichihara

Hitting Coaches
SHunsuke Gato

Ok, then it might be different from game to game. In my game John Farrell (and in real life) is a manager. Hiring him as a pitching coach, he'd likely refuse, or take an exorbitantly large salary.
