The Arizona Diamondbacks filled out their Major League coaching staff Wednesday when they named Steve Sax their new first base coach.
The 52-year-old Sax played 14 years in the Major Leagues with the Dodgers, Yankees, White Sox and A's, finishing his career with a .281 batting average, 54 home runs, 550 RBI and 444 stolen bases. Sax was a five-time All-Star and was named the National League Rookie of the Year in 1982.
