FYI, the title is "Bench Coach", not "Bench Manager". Basically, he acts as the 2nd in command - the Vice Manager, if you will. During games, he serves as a someone for the Manager to discuss ideas with, and he'll frequently also keep track of stats and other information the manager might need. Outside the game, he handles a lot of the administrative and logistical aspects of the manager's job (running batting practice, etc.). When the Manager is kicked out of a game or has to miss it for some reason, the Bench Coach is the one who manages the team in his absence.

To answer it simply even for someone like me to understand it ,the role of a bench manager is to make sure that there are no equiment after a game unless they belong to the particular stadium also check for gum on top of the bench it is alright if it is under the bench but it can not be on top!

He's like the manager's "best man". He is usually an experienced baseball guy, a guy who has often been a manager in the minors or college and has very good knowledge of the game and team.

Boy that was a great answer Jeremy, just one more thing he is there also when manager (Eric Wedge ((Indians))) gets fired and (Joel Skinner) steps in and takes controll and then has a winning season.

Gives the manager someone to discuss situations and give him reminders.
