Ronald Washington, born on April 29, 1952, is a highly respected figure in Major League Baseball (MLB), known for his extensive career as both a player and a coach. Washington's playing career spanned from 1977 to 1989, during which he played for several teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Minnesota Twins, Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Indians, and Houston Astros. Primarily a middle infielder, Washington also demonstrated versatility by playing at first base, center field, and left field. Over his 10 seasons, he posted a solid .261 batting average, hit 20 home runs, drove in 146 runs, and stole 28 bases.

After retiring as a player, Washington transitioned into coaching, where he made a significant impact. He began his coaching career with the New York Mets and Oakland Athletics organizations, gaining valuable experience that would later serve him well as a manager. In 2007, Washington was named the manager of the Texas Rangers, a position he held until 2014. Under his leadership, the Rangers reached the World Series in both 2010 and 2011, marking the franchise's first-ever appearances in the Fall Classic. His ability to develop talent and manage a clubhouse earned him widespread respect across the league.

Following his tenure with the Rangers, Washington continued to contribute to the game as a coach. He returned to the Oakland Athletics in 2015 before joining the Atlanta Braves as their third base coach in 2016. Washington played a pivotal role in the Braves' success, culminating in a World Series championship in 2021. His expertise in infield defense and player development was instrumental in shaping the Braves' young core, helping them achieve their first title in over two decades. Washington's leadership and experience have made him one of the most sought-after coaches in the game.

In November 2023, Washington was named the manager of the Los Angeles Angels, marking a new chapter in his storied career. With decades of experience as both a player and coach, Washington brings a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record of success to the Angels organization. His ability to connect with players and foster a winning culture will be crucial as the Angels look to return to postseason contention. Washington's journey through baseball, from his playing days to his managerial and coaching roles, has solidified his legacy as one of the game's most respected figures.
