Biographical Information

Dino Ebel began his baseball career with a bang. Playing for the 1988 GCL Dodgers, Ebel batted .337/.427/.442, leading the Gulf Coast League in OBP, slugging and total bases (92) and ranking second in average, runs (42), hits (70), tied for second in homers (4), third in RBI (36) and tied for third in times hit by pitch (7). His .952 fielding percentage led the league's shortstops and he made the GCL All-Star team at short. He finished the year by going 4 for 14 for the Bakersfield Dodgers. In 1989, Ebel hit .246/~.307/.309 for the Vero Beach Dodgers in 272 AB. Returning to Vero Beach in 1990, he hit only .167/~.222/.197 in 198 AB.

Ebel made a tour of the Dodger farm system in 1991, making 4 stops as he began a five year stint as player/coach. He hit .205/~.252/.250 in 112 AB at Vero Beach, .312/~.379/.452 in 93 AB in Bakersfield, .275/~.408/.350 in 40 AB in San Antonio, and pinch ran for Albuquerque. Ebel was a player/coach in Bakersfield from 1992-1994. After not playing in 1992, he hit .280/~.333/.380 for Bakersfield in '93 and finished his playing career by going 1 for 3 for the club the next season.

Ebel was a player/coach for the San Bernardino Spirit in 1995. After the season, he coached the Peoria Javelinas in the Arizona Fall League. Ebel was a coach for the San Antonio Missions in 1996. When Del Crandall resigned in the middle of a 13 game losing streak for the San Bernardino Stampede in 1997, Ebel (then a coach with the team) stepped in and led the team to the championship series. The team was 18-21 in the 39 games Ebel managed. He managed in the Los Angeles Dodgers (1998-2004) and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (2005) chains the next eight years, advancing to three league finals and winning one championship.

In 2006, Ebel became third base coach of the Angels, then became the team's bench coach in 2014. In 2018, he moved back to third base coach. Ebel left at the end of the season, at the same time as long-time manager Mike Scioscia, and moved across town to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was appointed third base coach of the Dodgers for the 2019 season and remained in that position through 2025. The Dodgers won three World Series titles (2020, 2024, 2025) while he coached third base.

In addition to his work in the United States, Ebel has international coaching experience. He was the infield instructor for the Chinese National Team in 2000. Ebel managed the Cervesa Atlas Tiburones in the Liga Profesional de Béisbol de Panamá in 2001/2002. It appears he held two jobs in the winter of 2002/2003. Ebel was an infield instructor for the Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes in Japan and field coordinator for the Sinon Bulls in Taiwan. In 2003/2004, he started the season as manager of the Estrellas Orientales, but was replaced in mid-November. Ebel returned to Estrellas in 2013, but was fired on November 9th. Lastly, Ebel was the third base coach for the U.S. during the 2023 World Baseball Classic.
