Also returning to the Clippers dugout for his second season with the team is pitching coach Tony Arnold. During Arnold's first season, Clippers pitchers struck out a team-record 1,239 hitters.

Strength coach Ed Subel also re-joins the Clippers staff.

Two members of AA Akron's coaching staff have gotten the call to Columbus for the 2014 season. Chad Wolfe will assume the role of trainer for the Clippers in 2014.

Replacing hitting coach Phil Clark will be Jim Rickon. This will be 16^th consecutive season with the Cleveland Indians organization as both a player and a coach for the Cleveland native and Cleveland State alum.
