SEATTLE - It only makes sense that the sports league with the most Latino athletes in the United States also has the largest amount of Latino managers. For the first time in its long history, six Latino managers will lead their MLB teams from the dugout in 2024.

The six account for a combined six World Series titles while holding different coaching positions. The Washington Nationals' Dave Martínez and the Boston Red Sox's Álex Cora are the only ones on this list to have won the Commissioner's Trophy in said position. Cora did it with the Red Sox in 2018 in his first season as a manager while Martínez did so in his second season at the helm of the Nationals in 2019.
