Mike Guerrero is back as the Biloxi Shuckers' manager for the 2026 season, marking his ninth year in Biloxi and 27th as an MiLB manager. Guerrero's return is a significant development, as he has been instrumental in shaping the team's success. With a 140-233 record during his tenure, he has become the second Shuckers manager to lead the team to back-to-back playoff appearances, a remarkable achievement. Guerrero's leadership has been particularly impactful, as he has guided 71 of the 82 former Shuckers to make their MLB debuts, including notable players like Corbin Burnes and Josh Hader. His 1,445 wins rank him sixth among active minor league managers, and he is the winningest coach in the team's history. Guerrero's previous role as a roving infield instructor allowed him to work with multiple affiliates, providing a comprehensive approach to player development. The Biloxi Shuckers, the Double-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, are set to play their first home game on Tuesday, April 7, against the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. The team's coaching staff includes hitting coach Kevin Martir, pitching coach Josh Spence, assistant coach Matt Lipka, and associate head coach Tyson Cooper, all of whom bring valuable experience and expertise to the team.
