From the Athletic:
"The Milwaukee Brewers got off to a head start on the trend of college coaches jumping to the major leagues when they hired Spencer Allen as a field coordinator ahead of the 2022 season. Allen, who spent the prior six seasons as Northwestern’s head coach, then became the Brewers’ director of player development, a position he held the last two years.
In a move that received high marks around the industry on Monday, Milwaukee announced Allen’s promotion to the major-league staff as first base coach.
Allen, 48, is widely regarded as a candidate for a managerial job or bench coach spot down the road. Other clubs held interest in hiring Allen away from the Brewers, league sources said. His calling cards as a coach are base running and defense."
