Manny Acta
Manuel Elias Acta (born January 11, 1969) is a Dominican former professional baseball manager who is currently the bench coach for the Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has formerly served as a broadcast analyst for ESPN and ESPN Deportes. He has also served as manager for the Washington Nationals and the Cleveland Indians.
In the Dominican Winter League, he has been successful both as a manager and a general manager: he managed the Tigres del Licey from 2003 to 2005, including leading them to victory at the 2004 Caribbean Series. As a general manager, he won with the Tigres del Licey in the 2013-14 season and then did the same with Águilas Cibaeñas in 2018. Acta managed the Dominican Republic team at the 2006 World Baseball Classic where they placed 4th.
Acta was signed by the Houston Astros at age 17 as an undrafted free agent infielder. Acta played baseball professionally for six seasons, all in the Astros' system, but never reached the major leagues as a player. The Astros organization would eventually send him to scouting school in Florida to utilize his analytical skills rather than his athletic talent.
In 1991, Acta became a player-coach at the A level, and soon after that quit his playing career and focused solely on coaching. He became the manager of the A-level Auburn Astros team at Auburn, New York in 1993, and he managed in the minors through 2000. He led the Kissimmee Cobras to a Florida State League championship in 1999.
Acta was hired as the third base coach for the Montreal Expos under Frank Robinson in 2002, and held that position through 2005.
In 2005 Acta was hired as the third base coach for the New York Mets under manager Willie Randolph. He held this position for two years, leaving to become the manager of the Washington Nationals.
On November 9, 2015, Acta was hired as the third base coach for the Seattle Mariners under new manager Scott Servais for the 2016 season. Acta was the first person issued #14 as it had been out of circulation since Lou Piniella left the team after the 2002 season.
On November 26, 2024, Acta became the bench coach for the Mariners.
