Aly Rubén González is a Venezuelan professional baseball manager, coach and former player who has worked for the Boston Red Sox organization since 2009.^[1]^[2]

Biography

A right-handed hitter with modest offensive accomplishments, González was a versatile defensive player capable of playing

left field, while showing solid defense and a strong throwing arm. Nevertheless, he suffered the effects of assorted injuries that limited his playing career to 112 games.^[1]

González originally joined the organization when he was signed as a catcher in 2008, as he played from 2009 through 2011 for the Dominican Summer League Red Sox (DSL Red Sox), before transitioning to a coaching role for the team in 2012. His most productive season came in 2011, when he hit a slash line of .310/.374/.379 in 36 games, while leading the team in batting average.^[3]

Throughout his brief career, González was a virtual extra coach in the clubhouse.^{[according to whom?]} Even though he did not play in 2012, he served in this capacity under DSL Red Sox manager José Zapata. Zapata, also a long time field coordinator for the DSL Red Sox, praised the work and leadership of González and recommended him to the organization. González then served as a full-time coach in 2013 and 2014.^[4]

González was promoted in 2015 to manage one of Boston's two DSL Red Sox teams, gaining his first managerial experience in professional baseball at age 24.
