Midwest League Managers

Rico Petrocelli

One partial Midwest League season:

Playing Career

  • Drafted/Signed: Boston Red Sox, free agent, 1961.
  • Professional Career: 13 big league seasons, all with Boston.
  • Midwest League: Never played in the Midwest League.

Management style

Petrocelli was a fairly controlling manager. His teams often led the league (or were near the lead) in intentional walks and complete games. He generally played for a big inning, rarely calling for bunts and avoiding the running game.
