Taking over a professional team for the first time at any age is a career-molding moment. Butera won’t be without help.\n\n\”Jose Gonzalez is a veteran pitching coach there, and that’s really important for a young manager, because the hardest thing to do is run a pitching staff,\” Lukevics said. \”\\[Returning hitting coach\\] Al Freire was on that staff last year. He used to be our Venezuelan coordinator, a former big leaguer and very steady coach.\n\n\”\\[Butera’s\\] going to have good support with his staff who’s been doing it, plus we run in a lot of coordinators – not to second-guess anything, but to help. We like helping, and we like talking baseball, and we like guiding these young up-and-coming staff personnel.\”\n\nThe Rays will rotate some of their most trusted baseball minds through the Renegades’ orbit, such as longtime field coordinator Bill Evers. Evers will start the season with Butera’s group for roughly 10 games. Still, even with all the support, Butera will be free to chart a personal course. \n\”He’s going to evolve with his own style of managing, that’s for sure,\” Lukevics said. \”We have — and he knows — different organization policies and procedures that are different at every level.”,”type”:”text”},{“__typename”:”Markdown”,”content”:”\”Blake will be instrumental with our other coaches on, you know, first-and-second bunt plays, first-and-third rundown situations, cuts and relays. We’re teaching that from Day 1, but when we get to the individual, we let them play. We assess after 30 days and make decisions on, in cooperation with the player, how we want to go about helping the player. Even a veteran manager, we don’t want to put that predicament to start teaching technique from Day 1. Hell, maybe Wade Boggs wouldn’t have been Wade Boggs if someone would’ve screwed him up early.\”\n\nThe young manager knows the identity he wants for his club, which will feature 15 players he had in extended spring camp mixed with a talented group from Tampa Bay’s 2018 Draft class.\n\n\”What you’re ultimately going to see is a team that plays hard and plays the game the right way and represents this organization in a positive way,\” Butera said. \”They’re going to battle. They’re going to have good at-bats. We’re going to pitch it well. We’re going to defend it well, and you’re going to see a lot of effort and energy out of these guys this year.\”\n\nAnd as for that moment on Friday night, it’s coming.\n\n\”I think once I walk out there and hand off the lineup card and turn back to walk to the dugout,\” Butera said, \”I’ll definitely soak it all in and be pretty thankful and humbled to be where I am.\””,”type”:”text”}],”relativeSiteUrl”:”/news/blake-butera-became-minor-league-manager-at-25-years-old”,”contentType”:”news”,”subHeadline”:null,”summary”:”This story originally ran on June 15, 2018
