Hyde used to be the bench coach for the Marlins from 2010 to 2011. In Chicago, he served as the bench coach (2014) and first base coach (2015 to 2017). In 2018, he was the bench coach. His experience will play a crucial part in communicating with the players.
Hyde thinks he can work well with Elias’ system, and this is good news for the Orioles organization. Online sportsbooks will surely take a closer look at the team as it tries to rebuild during the off-season.
