Earlier this week, the Milwaukee Brewers announced the finalization of their coaching staff for the 2026 season. Daniel Vogelbach returning to the organization as a hitting coach stole the headlines among fans, but in the industry, executives took note of the fact that the Brewers' former director of player development, Spencer Allen, had been named the team's new first base coach.
Allen is a former junior college player from Green River College, who then transferred to Iowa State for his final two seasons. He was later the head coach at Northwestern University from 2016-2021, before joining the Brewers organization as a field coordinator ahead of the 2022 campaign.
