The Miami Marlins named Clayton McCullough their new manager on Monday.

McCullough, 44, spent this past season as the first base coach of the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

“We are thrilled to introduce Clayton McCullough as manager of the Miami Marlins following an extensive search,” Bruce Sherman, Marlins chairman and principal owner, said in a team release. “Clayton joins our organization following a World Series championship season and brings a strong pedigree of winning. His love of the game, ability to build meaningful relationships, and new leadership will guide our organization into an exciting new era.”

McCullough had been with the Dodgers in a variety of roles since 2014 but has prior managing experience in the Toronto Blue Jays’ minor league system from 2007-2014. He compiled a 402-357 record across various stops in the Gulf Coast League, Class-A and Advanced-A levels.

“It is an honor to be introduced as the manager for the Miami Marlins,” McCullough said in the release. “Following an incredible past few weeks, it is exciting to end the year by finding the right opportunity for me and my family. We have called South Florida home for the last 10 years, and now I get to lead the Marlins franchise forward with a culture that is built on determination, focus, and care.”

The Marlins are replacing Skip Schumaker after the sides parted ways at the end of a 62-100 season.

As a player, McCullough was a catcher in the minor leagues in the Cleveland organization. He did not reach the majors.
