Dodgers bring back Pedro Guerrero — not the All-Star — as coach
The 37-year-old joins the Dodgers from the Miami Marlins' coaching staff
The Los Angeles Dodgers have hired Pedro Guerrero, a former player who once made four All-Star teams, to serve as their major league hitting coach. Despite Guerrero's impressive career, he has not played in the majors since 2013. Born as Pedro Guerrero Acta on December 3, 1988, he played 411 games for the Dodgers' organization between 2006 and 2013 before moving on to the Miami Marlins in the same capacity.
Guerrero has also worked as an assistant hitting coach for the San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, and as bench coach for the Rookie-level Ogden. He joined the Marlins in 2025 after spending two seasons with them in the same role. Guerrero's playing career, however, was not as successful, with a .236 batting average, 23 home runs, and 163 RBIs during his time in the majors.
The Dodgers' offense ranked in the top 10 in MLB for various categories during the 2026 season, including on-base percentage (.320), batting average (.249), hits (1,347), and OPS (.727). Guerrero replaces Aaron Bates, whose contract was not renewed for 2027.
