Rene Lachemann
René Lachemann (born May 4, 1945) is a retired American professional baseball catcher, coach, and manager whose 53-year career in Major League Baseball (MLB) included playing, managing four teams, and coaching for multiple franchises, culminating in his retirement after the 2017 season.[1] Born in Los Angeles, California, to Swiss immigrant parents, Lachemann was the youngest of four siblings, including his brother Marcel, who also played and coached in MLB.[2] Lachemann began his professional career as a player, signing with the Kansas City Athletics in 1964 after starring at the University of Southern California and Susan Miller Dorsey High School.[3] He made his MLB debut on May 4, 1965—his 20th birthday—with the Athletics, where he primarily played catcher over four seasons (1965–1968), appearing in 118 games with a .210 batting average, 9 home runs, and 33 RBIs, mostly in his rookie year of 1965.[4] After batting just .111 in 1968, he transitioned to the minors and coaching roles, ending his playing days without a prolonged big-league stint but leveraging his defensive skills behind the plate.[2] As a manager, Lachemann led the Seattle Mariners from 1981 to 1983, posting a 140–180 record and a 76–86 mark in 1982.[5] He then managed the Milwaukee Brewers in 1984 (67–94), the Florida Marlins from 1993 to 1996—the team's inaugural years—where he achieved a franchise-best 67–76 record in 1995, and a one-game interim stint with the Chicago Cubs in 2002 (0–1).[5] Overall, his managerial record stands at 428–560 (.433 winning percentage) across 988 games with no postseason appearances.[6] Lachemann's most notable contributions came as a coach, spanning teams like the Oakland Athletics (1987–1990), where he helped secure a World Series championship in 1989 as third-base coach; the Boston Red Sox (1985–1986); the St. Louis Cardinals (1997–1999); and the Colorado Rockies (2013–2017), his final role as catching and defensive coordinator.[2] Earlier, he earned Minor League Manager of the Year honors with the Chattanooga Lookouts in 1976 and managed in the Athletics' farm system.[2] Married to Laurie since 1964, with two sons and three grandchildren, Lachemann resides in Scottsdale, Arizona, following his retirement.[2]Early life and family
Childhood in Los Angeles
Rene Lachemann was born on May 4, 1945, in Los Angeles, California, to Swiss immigrant parents William and Denise Lachemann.[2][7] His father, William, was a renowned chef at the historic Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, while his mother, Denise, served as a homemaker.[2][7] As the youngest of four children—sharing the household with brothers Bill and Marcel, as well as an older sister named Denise—Lachemann grew up in a close-knit family of Swiss-German and French-Swiss heritage.[2][7] The Lachemann family's life revolved around the Biltmore Hotel, where William's demanding role instilled a strong work ethic in his children. From a young age, Rene joined his brothers in summer jobs at the hotel's kitchen, assisting with tasks such as squeezing orange juice and preparing salads, often starting their shifts at 6 a.m. and working until 2 p.m. under their father's supervision.[2][7] These experiences emphasized discipline and responsibility, shaping Lachemann's early understanding of perseverance in a bustling urban environment.[2] Beyond family duties, Lachemann's childhood was influenced by neighborhood friendships in Los Angeles, particularly his close bond with Jim Lefebvre and his brothers, Tip and Gill. The families' ties extended to shared activities, including serving as counselors at a camp on Catalina Island owned by the Lefebvres.[7] These relationships provided early social and exploratory outlets, fostering a sense of community amid the city's vibrant postwar landscape. Later in life, his brothers Marcel and Bill also pursued professional paths in baseball, reflecting the family's broader athletic inclinations.[2]Family involvement in baseball
Rene Lachemann was born into a family of Swiss immigrants whose initial unfamiliarity with baseball did not hinder their eventual deep support for their sons' pursuits in the sport. His father, William Lachemann, a German-Swiss chef who worked grueling 18-hour shifts at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles for over 30 years, emphasized the importance of hard work and dedication, values that permeated the family's approach to life and athletics despite his own preferences for soccer and handball. William's encouragement was pivotal, as he made time to attend his sons' games, practices, and professional milestones, providing inspiration even as an octogenarian.[2][8][9] Lachemann's mother, Denise, a French-Swiss homemaker, contributed to the family's stability and dynamics by managing the household for their four children, fostering an environment where the brothers could nurture their interests. The Lachemann household revolved around shared family rituals, such as Sunday church services followed by elaborate dinners prepared by William, during which the brothers—eldest Bill, middle Marcel, and youngest Rene—frequently discussed baseball strategies, games, and aspirations, igniting a collective passion that motivated Rene's own entry into the sport. This familial camaraderie, rooted in their Los Angeles upbringing, transformed baseball from a neighborhood pastime into a lifelong vocation for all three.[2][7][8] Each of the Lachemann brothers signed professional baseball contracts, embarking on distinct paths that intertwined their careers. Bill, born in 1934, inked his first deal in 1955 as a catcher, earning $150 monthly and playing in the minor leagues where he batted .253 with 30 home runs before transitioning to a lengthy coaching tenure across multiple organizations, including the Angels (1934–2024).[10][11][1][2] Marcel, born in 1941, signed as a free-agent pitcher with the Kansas City Athletics on February 7, 1963, enjoying a brief Major League stint with Oakland from 1969 to 1971 while compiling a notable minor league record; he later became a pitching coach and manager, including for the Angels. Rene followed suit in 1964, signing with the Athletics at age 19 for a $45,000 bonus as a catcher, appearing in 108 Major League games over 1965-1968 before a 50-year coaching and managing career with teams like the Mariners, Brewers, and Marlins.[10][11][1][2] Rene's initial exposure to professional baseball came through shadowing his older brothers' minor league experiences, starting with Bill's early assignments in the 1950s and intensifying with Marcel's progression through the Athletics' system in the early 1960s, where the siblings often played together—Marcel pitching and Rene catching—in local parks and later affiliated leagues. These opportunities, combined with family visits to games near their home and chance encounters with visiting Major Leaguers at the Biltmore Hotel where the boys occasionally helped their father, solidified Rene's commitment and provided practical insights into the demands of pro ball.[9][12][8]Amateur and playing career
High school and amateur achievements
Rene Lachemann attended Susan Miller Dorsey High School in Los Angeles, California, where he developed as a catcher and earned recognition as an all-city player for his standout performances behind the plate.[2] In amateur competition, Lachemann contributed to a championship-winning American Legion team from Crenshaw Post 715, coached by Ben Lefebvre and featuring his friend Jim Lefebvre, by shagging flies and supporting the squad that captured the national title.[2][13] These experiences honed his skills, leading to recruitment interest from colleges including the University of Southern California, after being recruited by and briefly attending the University of Southern California before signing a professional contract.[2][3]Professional playing career
Rene Lachemann signed as an amateur free agent with the Kansas City Athletics organization in 1964 at the age of 19.[14][2] Lachemann began his professional career in the Athletics' minor league system that year, posting a strong .281 batting average with 24 home runs and 82 RBIs in 99 games for the Class A Burlington Bees of the Midwest League.[15] He appeared in three games at the Double-A level with the Birmingham Barons later in 1964, hitting .667 in limited action.[15] In 1966, he spent the full season at Double-A with the Mobile A's of the Southern League, where he batted .256 with 15 home runs and 65 RBIs over 119 games.[15] Lachemann advanced to Triple-A in 1967 with the Vancouver Mounties of the Pacific Coast League, hitting .222 with six home runs in 123 games, and returned there in 1968 for 62 games with a .249 average and four home runs.[15] Lachemann made his Major League Baseball debut on May 4, 1965, with the Athletics as a catcher at age 20.[16] He appeared in 92 games that season, primarily as a catcher, batting .227 with nine home runs and 29 RBIs in 216 at-bats.[3] Limited opportunities followed in 1966 (seven games, .200 average) and 1968 (19 games, .150 average with four RBIs), where he also served as a pinch hitter.[3] Over his four MLB seasons with the Athletics (which relocated to Oakland in 1968), Lachemann played 118 games total, compiling a .210 batting average, nine home runs, and 33 RBIs in 281 at-bats, while occasionally filling in at first base.[3][2] His final big-league appearance came on June 8, 1968.[2] After his MLB stint, Lachemann returned to the minors, playing at Triple-A Iowa Oaks of the American Association from 1969 to 1972, where he batted between .216 and .255 annually, with a high of 20 home runs in 1969.[15] During this period, he transitioned to more infield roles, including first base, and was teammates with his brother Marcel, a pitcher in the Oakland system.[2] Lachemann retired from playing after the 1972 season to pursue coaching opportunities.[17] Earlier in the Athletics organization, he had been a Minor League roommate of Tony La Russa, with whom he would later collaborate in coaching roles.[1]Early coaching and minor league managing
Entry into coaching
Following the conclusion of his playing career in the minor leagues with the Oakland Athletics' Triple-A affiliate Iowa Oaks after the 1972 season, Lachemann transitioned directly into a coaching role within the same organization.[2] As the 1972 campaign wound down, Oaks general manager John Claiborne approached Lachemann about managing in the Athletics' farm system, an offer that marked the end of his on-field playing days and the beginning of his instructional career.[2] Lachemann's first assignment came in 1973 as manager of the Class A Burlington Bees in the Midwest League, where he began applying his experience as a catcher to player development.[2][18] This role immersed him in the demands of leadership and teaching, building on the foundational knowledge he had gained during his minor league tenure.[1] Key influences during this early phase stemmed from his prior minor league connections within the Athletics system, including roommate Tony La Russa and teammate Dave Duncan, who later became prominent figures in baseball— with La Russa as a manager and Duncan as a pitching coach— and provided informal mentorship on baseball strategy and personnel management.[1][2] These relationships, forged in the 1960s, shaped Lachemann's approach to coaching by emphasizing disciplined preparation and player evaluation.[2]Minor league managerial stints
Lachemann began his managerial career in the Oakland Athletics' minor league system in 1973, taking over the Class A Burlington Bees of the Midwest League. That season, the team finished with a 54-64 record, placing eighth in the league. He returned to Burlington in 1974 for another season at the Class A level, improving to 61-59 and sixth place.[17] In 1975, Lachemann advanced to manage the Modesto A's in the Class A California League, where the team posted a 68-72 mark and finished fourth. The following year, he led the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts of the Southern League to a 70-68 record, securing fourth place and a first-round playoff loss; for this performance, Lachemann earned the Southern League Manager of the Year award. In 1977, he managed the Triple-A San Jose Missions of the Pacific Coast League to a 64-80 finish in seventh place, still within the Athletics' organization.[17][19] Following the Athletics' relocation considerations, Lachemann joined the expansion Seattle Mariners' system in 1978, managing the Triple-A San Jose Missions to a 53-87 record and eighth place. He then helmed the Mariners' Triple-A Spokane Indians from 1979 to 1980, recording 68-79 (ninth place) and 60-80 (eighth place), respectively. During this period, Lachemann also managed in the Puerto Rican Winter League from 1976 to 1981, winning the 1978 Caribbean Series with Los Indios de Mayagüez.[2] Over these eight seasons from 1973 to 1980, Lachemann amassed a 498-589 overall minor league record. His stints in the Athletics' farm system played a key role in nurturing talent that contributed to the organization's success in the late 1970s, including prospects who advanced to Major League rosters.[17][2]| Year | Team | League | Record | Finish |

Major League managerial career
Seattle Mariners tenure
Rene Lachemann was appointed interim manager of the Seattle Mariners on May 6, 1981, at the age of 36, replacing Maury Wills after the team started the season with a 6-18 record.[20] He guided the Mariners through the remainder of the strike-shortened 1981 season and was retained as the full-time manager for 1982, signing a contract with options for two additional years.[2] Lachemann's hiring came amid the expansion franchise's ongoing struggles, as the Mariners, established in 1977, had yet to post a winning season and were navigating frequent front-office changes, including new owner George Argyros's acquisition of the team earlier that year.[18] During his tenure from mid-1981 through mid-1983, Lachemann compiled a record of 140 wins and 180 losses, for a .438 winning percentage, as the Mariners continued to grapple with the challenges of an expansion-era roster heavy on inexperienced players.[5] The 1982 season represented modest progress, with the team achieving its first 70-win campaign at 76-86, finishing fourth in the American League West despite persistent offensive deficiencies that placed them last in runs scored.[2] Lachemann emphasized pitching development and defensive fundamentals to compensate for the young lineup's shortcomings, leading to a respectable team ERA of 3.88 in 1982, which ranked fourth in the AL.[2] Notable contributors under his guidance included veteran pitcher Gaylord Perry, who joined the Mariners in 1982 and notched his 300th career win that year with a 10-12 record, as well as reliever Bill Caudill, who earned All-Star honors in 1982 with 26 saves, and designated hitter Richie Zisk, who provided power with 21 home runs.[21][2][22] Lachemann's dismissal came on June 25, 1983, after the Mariners stumbled to a 26-47 start, capped by an eight-game losing streak that highlighted the team's lack of progress and deepening offensive woes.[23] Owner Argyros cited the need for a change amid the franchise's organizational instability and the roster's youth, as many players were still developing and the team ranked dead last in batting average and runs scored.[18][2] Despite the firing, Lachemann had earned respect from players for his straightforward communication style, which helped foster accountability in a rebuilding environment.[2] The Mariners finished the 1983 season 60-102 under replacement manager Del Crandall, underscoring the structural hurdles Lachemann faced during Seattle's early expansion years.[5]Milwaukee Brewers season
Rene Lachemann was hired by the Milwaukee Brewers on October 3, 1983, to replace Harvey Kuenn as manager heading into the 1984 season, following the team's 87-75 finish in 1983 that had fallen short of expectations after their 1982 World Series appearance.[24] Brewers general manager Harry Dalton selected Lachemann without considering other candidates, viewing his prior experience with the Seattle Mariners as a foundation for rebuilding team discipline and performance.[2] In 1984, Lachemann managed the full 161-game schedule, guiding the Brewers to a 67-94 record and a last-place finish in the seven-team American League East division.[5] The season was marred by extensive injuries and roster challenges, including star third baseman Paul Molitor missing nearly the entire year after playing just 13 games due to a torn elbow muscle requiring surgery and rehabilitation.[2] The team's offense struggled profoundly, scoring only 641 runs—the fewest in the American League—while key veterans like Cecil Cooper (67 RBIs) and Ted Simmons (52 RBIs) produced well below their 1983 levels.[2] Lachemann emphasized veteran leadership to navigate the adversity, leaning on players such as shortstop Robin Yount, who batted .299 with 10 home runs and 50 RBIs in 125 games, and the limited contributions from Molitor early in the season.[25] His approach sought to foster stricter discipline and accountability amid the turmoil, aiming to stabilize a squad disrupted by injuries to multiple positions, including the bullpen and outfield.[2] The Brewers were eliminated from postseason contention on August 28, 1984, prompting Lachemann's dismissal on September 27 with three games remaining; he remained with the team through the finale, where they won two of three against the Toronto Blue Jays.[2] Lachemann was replaced by George Bamberger for the 1985 season, with his tenure regarded as a transitional effort to restore order to a faltering roster rather than a long-term rebuild.[26]Florida Marlins management
Rene Lachemann was hired on October 23, 1992, by general manager Dave Dombrowski to serve as the first manager of the expansion Florida Marlins, ahead of their inaugural 1993 season. His selection was based on his experience rebuilding teams during prior managerial stints with the Seattle Mariners and Milwaukee Brewers, as well as his extensive coaching background under Tony La Russa with the Oakland Athletics. Lachemann managed the Marlins through the 1996 season, guiding the franchise during its formative years in the National League East.[2][27] Over four seasons, Lachemann compiled a 221-285 record (.437 winning percentage), with yearly marks of 64-98 in 1993, 51-64 in the strike-shortened 1994 campaign, 67-76 in 1995, and 39-47 in 1996 before his dismissal. He emphasized defensive fundamentals and player development as core strategies, hiring his brother Marcel as pitching coach to foster young talent and maintain a professional, resilient team atmosphere. This approach centered on protecting and nurturing prospects like catcher Charles Johnson while integrating veterans, contributing to gradual improvement and the emergence of key contributors such as outfielder Gary Sheffield, who became a feared hitter, and Jeff Conine, who broke out as a reliable power bat in the early years. The 1995 season highlighted this progress, as the Marlins achieved their first winning record after the All-Star break (41-33) despite an overall sub-.500 finish, signaling the rise of the team's young core.[5][2][28][29] Lachemann was fired on July 7, 1996, following a seven-game losing streak and amid the team's inconsistent execution and underwhelming offensive output (.249 batting average, third-worst in the NL). General manager Dombrowski cited the need for a change to meet rising fan expectations in South Florida, where the Marlins' talented roster and strong pitching staff had fueled hopes for quicker contention compared to peers like the Colorado Rockies. Despite the dismissal, Lachemann's tenure laid essential groundwork for the franchise's future success, including the development of foundational players that propelled the Marlins to the 1997 World Series.[30][31][27]Chicago Cubs stint
On July 5, 2002, following the midseason dismissal of manager Don Baylor, Lachemann served as interim manager for the Chicago Cubs for one game, a 4–3 loss to the Atlanta Braves at Wrigley Field. He was replaced by Bruce Kimm the following day and did not manage again.[5][32]Major League coaching career
Boston Red Sox role
Rene Lachemann joined the Boston Red Sox as third-base coach in 1985, hired by manager John McNamara, with whom he had previously worked in the Arizona Fall League.[2] His prior experience managing in the minor leagues, including stints with the Athletics and Mariners organizations, contributed to his selection for the major league role.[2] In this position, Lachemann focused on base-running instruction and defensive signals, guiding runners on aggressive advances while coordinating with the infield on positioning; he worked closely with key players such as third baseman Wade Boggs on base-running fundamentals and pitcher Roger Clemens on situational awareness during games.[17][2] During the 1986 season, Lachemann played a pivotal role in the Red Sox's American League championship run, culminating in a World Series appearance against the New York Mets.[33] His coaching decisions influenced critical moments across the series, emphasizing calculated risks given the team's limited speed.[34] In Game 1, with Boston leading 1-0 in the ninth inning, Lachemann sent Dwight Evans home from second base on Dave Henderson's one-out single to left field, though Evans was thrown out at the plate by Mets outfielder Kevin Mitchell; the Red Sox still secured a 1-0 victory.[34] In Game 6 at Shea Stadium, amid the Red Sox's infamous collapse from a 5-3 lead, Lachemann held Jim Rice at third base with two outs and Wade Boggs on second after Evans's double off the left-field wall, avoiding a potential out at the plate but ending the inning on a flyout.[34] Later in that game, leading 3-2 with two outs and Rice on second, he signaled Rice to score on Rich Gedman's single to left, but Rice was thrown out by Mookie Wilson, contributing to the mounting pressure in the Mets' eventual 6-5 extra-inning win.[34] Lachemann's tenure with the Red Sox ended after the 1986 World Series loss, as the coaching staff underwent changes for the 1987 season, with Joe Morgan replacing him at third base while McNamara remained manager.[35] He departed to join the Oakland Athletics staff, seeking opportunities closer to his Arizona home.[2]Oakland Athletics positions
Rene Lachemann joined the Oakland Athletics coaching staff in 1987 as the first base coach under manager Tony La Russa, marking a reunion with his former minor league roommate and teammate from their early days in the Chicago White Sox organization.[2] This move came after his time with the Boston Red Sox and built on Lachemann's prior playing experience with the Athletics franchise in the 1960s, including stints in Kansas City and Oakland.[17] He transitioned to third base coach in 1988, a position he held through the 1992 season, working alongside pitching coach Dave Duncan in a staff known for its strategic depth during the team's dominant late-1980s run.[36] During his tenure, Lachemann contributed to the Athletics' three consecutive American League pennants from 1988 to 1990, including their 1989 World Series championship over the San Francisco Giants.[1] As third base coach in the 1989 postseason, he played a key role in baserunning decisions that supported the team's powerful lineup, often referred to as the "Bash Brothers" era featuring sluggers Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco, who combined for 159 home runs that season.[37] Lachemann's on-field guidance helped maximize offensive opportunities behind aces like Dave Stewart and closer Dennis Eckersley, whose efforts were central to the sweep in the Fall Classic.[2] Lachemann's time with Oakland exemplified the stability of La Russa's staff, which emphasized disciplined execution and complemented the era's high-powered offense with effective situational coaching.[38] He departed after the 1992 season when hired to manage the expansion Florida Marlins, leaving behind a legacy of postseason success that included appearances in the 1988, 1989, and 1990 World Series.[39]St. Louis Cardinals and later coaching
In 1997, Rene Lachemann reunited with longtime associate Tony La Russa, serving as the third-base coach for the St. Louis Cardinals through the 1999 season.[2][17] During this period, Lachemann contributed to the team's coaching staff amid a competitive National League Central division, including the memorable 1998 home run chase involving Mark McGwire.[9][40] Following his tenure in St. Louis, Lachemann joined the Chicago Cubs as bench coach from 2000 to 2002, supporting manager Don Baylor during a transitional era for the franchise.[2][16] He then returned to the Seattle Mariners organization as bench coach for the 2003 and 2004 seasons, leveraging his prior experience with the team from his early managerial days.[2][17] Lachemann subsequently served with the Oakland Athletics from 2005 to 2007, as bench coach in 2005, first-base coach in 2006, and third-base coach in 2007, during the team's playoff-contending years.[2][16] After a brief return to minor league coaching as hitting coach for the Colorado Rockies' Triple-A affiliate, the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, from 2008 to 2012, Lachemann rejoined the Rockies' major league staff in 2013 as first-base coach.[17][2] In 2014, he transitioned to the role of catching instructor and defensive positioning coach, a position he held through the 2016 season, focusing on player development in catcher fundamentals and infield alignments.[41][42][16] Lachemann announced his retirement in February 2017 at age 71, concluding a 53-year professional baseball career that spanned playing, managing, and coaching roles across multiple organizations.[1] Reflecting on his longevity, he expressed appreciation for the game's evolution and the relationships built over decades, noting that baseball had been his lifelong pursuit without plans for a traditional "retirement" lifestyle.[1]Career records and legacy
