Wotus became the Giants' third base coach in 1998 under manager Dusty Baker, and served as bench coach from 1999–2017 under managers Baker, Felipe Alou, and Bruce Bochy. Wotus said he hoped to manage some day, and interviewed for several major league manager jobs, including the Pirates (2000), Dodgers (2005), Mariners (2013), Rays (2014), and Nationals (2015). Wotus has also coached the Giants' infielders and was in charge of defensive shifts. After the Giants had a disappointing 2017 season, Wotus was reassigned to third base coach, his original coaching position with the Giants, to help stabilize the team.
