Orioles' Hiring of Albernaz Follows Current Trends

Craig Albernaz, in his first week as Orioles manager, has a notable connection in the baseball world.

One of his former players, Blake Butera, was recently hired as manager by the Washington Nationals, making him the youngest major league manager in over 50 years at just 33 years old.

Butera's career intersected with Albernaz's in the Tampa Bay Rays organization, where Albernaz coached and Butera played in the minor leagues from 2015 to 2016.

Butera may be the first major league manager to have an up-to-date LinkedIn account, while Albernaz also has one, although it's not current.

This connection highlights Albernaz's growing influence in the baseball world, with his managerial tree already taking shape.
