Arnold H. Beyeler (born February 13, 1964) is an American professional baseball manager and former Major League coach.
In 2017, Beyeler will spend his second consecutive season as the manager of the New Orleans Baby Cakes (formerly Zephyrs) of the Pacific Coast League (PCL), the Triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins.
Previously, he spent three seasons (2013–15) as first base and outfield coach of the Boston Red Sox, winning a 2013 World Series ring. During that season, Beyeler helped veteran centerfielder Shane Victorino convert to right field, a notoriously difficult position at Boston's home stadium, Fenway Park. When Victorino won a 2013 Gold Glove for defensive excellence, he invited Beyeler to the off-season awards ceremony in New York as his guest. During 2014–15, Beyeler converted infielders Mookie Betts and Brock Holt into outfielders; Betts became the Red Sox' regular centerfielder in 2015 and won a Gold Glove as a right fielder (and the Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award) in 2016. But veteran shortstop Hanley Ramírez' conversion to leftfielder was a disaster in 2015, and Boston released Beyeler on October 4, 2015.
