Despite his managerial career only starting in 2017, Rymel already boasts more than 550 career wins across stints in the Dominican Summer League, rookie ball, Short-A, High-A and Double-A. His coaching passport includes two seasons managing the Chicago Cubs’ Dominican Summer League side, plus time in Puerto Rico’s winter league, where he worked as an assistant and bench coach.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ERymel’s approach is refreshingly simple. He wants his players to enjoy the game and let their talent do the talking, rather than overcomplicating things from the dugout. He has spoken about his excitement to get involved in the Perth community, with plans already floated for baseball camps to help grow the sport among local kids.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ESydney, meanwhile, has pulled off a genuine coup, landing ABCA Hall of Famer Mike Roberts as their new skipper. The move had been over a year in the making, with talks between Roberts and the club’s management first starting around a possible Perth role before Sydney presented the right opportunity twelve months later.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ERoberts brings decades of coaching experience from American college and professional baseball, along with a coaching philosophy he calls Backyard Baseball. The idea is to strip away the pressure and get players back to enjoying the game the way they did as kids, a method that produced strong winning records during his most recent stint in the Cape Cod Baseball League. He is particularly looking forward to developing young talent in Sydney, including a handful of imports from Asia who will train alongside local and American players this season.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EBoth appointments signal serious intent from clubs looking to build on the growth of Australian baseball.
