SALT LAKE CITY – The Salt Lake Bees announced on Friday afternoon their coaching staff ahead of the 2022 baseball season, which is scheduled to begin on April 5.

Highlighting the coaching staff is the return of Lou Marson as the manager for the Salt Lake Bees, who is back for his third season.

Strength and conditioning coach Paul Cater, game planning strategist Evan Roberts and video assistant Kyle Parisi are new additions to the staff for the 2022 season.

Marson became the Bees manager before the 2019 season and has been with the Los Angeles Angels organization since 2017 when he was the hitting coach in Salt Lake.
