Management style
An interesting, quite controlling, manager. Stelmaszek didn't much like intentional passes, and was more likely than most of his contemporaries to leave a pitcher in when he got in a jam. His baserunners only ran in high-percentage situations. He was pretty likely to call for a bunt.
Stelly now has the third-longest stint by a major league coach with a single team.
