There are 30 major league teams. Each team has @8 coaches ( this varies by team) for a total of around 240 coaches. There are 5 managers and 37 total black coaches in the major leagues. The Dodgers have the most with 4 while 6 teams do not have any black coaches. Of the 37 coaches 13 are of Latino decent. The break down is 16 1st Base Coaches, 9 Hitting Coaches, 5 3rd Base coaches, 4 Bullpen coaches, 2 positon coaches and 1 bench coach. There are 0 black pitching coaches. I got these numbers by going to each team's site on MLB.com so feel free to go behind me and double check my numbers.
