  • 2016 Field Staff Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Indians Announce RubberDucks ’16 Field Staff David Wallace Returns to Akron for 3rd Season as Ducks Skipper By David Wilson, Akron RubberDucks (AKRON, OHIO) January 11, 2016 – The Cleveland Indians have announced the organization’s minor league managerial and coaching assignments for the 2016 season, and former Akron catcher David Wallace will return to manage the RubberDucks for the third consecutive season. While Wallace reprises his role as RubberDucks manager, he’ll be joined on the field staff by pitching coach Tony Arnold and hitting coach Tim Laker. The support staff will include trainer Jeremy Heller and strength and conditioning coach Scott Nealon. Of that group, only Wallace and Heller return from last season’s staff. Since the franchise began as the Canton-Akron Indians in 1989, the only other managers with a three-year tenure are Brad Komminsk (2002-2004) and Joel Skinner (1998-1999, 2010). Wallace, 36, was named the 15th manager in club history on December 20, 2013. During his first two seasons, he has led the RubberDucks to identical 73-69 records. Last season, the RubberDucks battled for the Western Division wild card until the final day of the season, ultimately falling one game short of the playoffs. In 2014, Wallace led the RubberDucks through a successful campaign that ended in a second-place finish in the EL West and a playoff berth.
