Ray Montgomery, LA Angels Bench Coach, on Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, New Rules & Baseball Life

Ray Montgomery has season tickets and a front-row seat to the Shohei Ohtani & Mike Trout Show as the bench coach for the LA Angels of Anaheim. Ray joined Joe Rizzo on Diamond Diehards to talk about what he is witnessing first hand and gives amazing insight into the daily doings of Ohtani and Trout. He took Riz through the losing streak that cost manager Joe Maddon his job and gave Phil Nevin an opportunity, explained why and how Ohtani is able to do what he does, and broke down how Trout is simply a "different" player. Ray walked through his fascinating journey from playing at Fordham, in the minors and then the majors, through his many years in MLB teams' front offices, and how he somehow ended up on the bench as a coach for the first time, at age 52.
