Best Answer

Each manager uses the bench coach differently but, generally speaking, the bench coach is an assistant manager. Before the game he takes some of the simple responsibilities, such as filling out lineup cards, away from the manager so the manager can meet with the media and talk to players. During the game the bench the manager will usually talk strategy with the bench coach. The bench coach may chart where pitched balls are hit, set the defensive positioning for a particular batter, and give signs to fielders on what plays to run depending on where a ball is hit.
