Alan Wayne LeBoeuf (born February 4, 1960) is an American professional baseball coach for the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball.
Career
[edit]LeBoeuf attended Tourtellotte Memorial High School in North Grosvenordale, Connecticut, graduating in 1979. He then attended Eastern Connecticut State University. The Philadelphia Phillies selected him in the 28th round of the 1981 Major League Baseball draft.[1][2] He made his professional debut for the Helena Phillies of the Rookie-level Pioneer League that year. He played in the minor leagues through 1988, when he served as a player-coach.[3]
After his retirement as a player, LeBoeuf became a full-time coach in the minor leagues for the Phillies organization from 1989 to 2000.[1][2] He then coached in the minor leagues for the New York Mets from 2001 to 2005, the Kansas City Royals in 2006, the Toronto Blue Jays from 2007 to 2009, and the Milwaukee Brewers since 2010.[2] The Brewers added LeBoeuf to their major league coaching staff as their lead hitting coach after the 2024 season.[4]
Personal life
[edit]LeBoeuf and his wife, Laura, married in 1987.[3]
In 2012, LeBouef was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, which had progressed into POEMS syndrome. It developed from a bone bruise in his right hip that resulted from a hit by pitch during the 1985 season that resulted in his body producing too much protein. He underwent chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant and required assistance walking for five years.[3][5]
