Manny Ramirez, a former Major League Baseball outfielder who hit 555 home runs during his 19-year career, wants to become a hitting coach.

According to the New York Post's Jon Heyman, Ramirez would prefer to land a hitting coach position in the Majors but would take a job in the minors.

"Manny Ramirez is seeking a hitting coach job in MLB, agent Hector Zepeda said. Ramirez, who hit 555 HRs and batted .312, last worked as a player/coach for the Sydney Blue Sox in Australia in 2020-21," Heyman wrote on X. "He's so determined to get back in the game he’s willing to go to the minors."

This is not the first time Ramirez has publicly announced that he is searching for a hitting coach role. Last October, Heyman sent out a similar report with a message from Ramirez's agent, Zepeda.

Ramirez has an impressive MLB resume. He won two World Series titles with the Boston Red Sox and earned 12 All-Star selections and nine Silver Slugger Awards.

The 54-year-old's three separate positive tests for performance-enhancing drugs have almost certainly impacted his reputation among baseball fans. He tested positive for testosterone during spring training with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2011, leading to retirement instead of a 100-game suspension.

After his MLB playing days were over, Ramirez continued his career in several international leagues, including LIDOM, the Chinese Professional Baseball League, the Shikoku Island League in Japan, and the Australian Baseball League.

In 2020, he signed with the ABL's Sydney Blue Sox as a player-coach. However, he never appeared in a game with the Blue Sox due to a medical issue and was released by the club in January 2021.
