Biographical Information[edit]

Nestor Corredor played eight seasons in the minors then became a manager.

Corredor signed with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2002 after being scouted by Epy Guerrero. He hit only .203 as a first baseman for the DSL Brewers that year. In 2003, he improved to .218 with the same club. Coming stateside in 2004, he hit .211/.242/.316 while appearing for three Brewers affiliates. He did throw out 17 of 35 attempted base-stealers for the AZL Brewers in his first year at catcher. He also fielded .990, leading Arizona League backstops.

In 2005, Nestor batted .203/.236/.275 in 45 games for the West Virginia Power and .277/.327/.319 in 15 for the Brevard County Manatees. He split 2006 between the same two clubs, hitting .269/.304/.362 in 40 games for West Virginia and .183/.227/.211 in 22 for Brevard County.

With Brevard County in all of 2007, Corredor hit .169/.204/.209 with 26 runs produced in 60 games. Moving to pitching in 2008, Nestor was 1-1 with a 7.52 ERA in 13 outings for Helena.

After a year away from baseball, Corredor returned to the Brewers organization as a minor league manager (see below) for the next ten years. He was scheduled to change jobs in 2020 and serve as a Biloxi Shuckers coach before the season was cancelled due to COVID-19. Corredor joined the major league Brewers in 2021 as a bullpen catcher, a role he repeated in 2022. Becoming a major league bullpen catcher was a rather unusual step for a long-time minor league manager & coach. Corredor explained it thus to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 2023 - "It's the show. It's the big leagues. You need to find a way to get to the big leagues the best way possible and, at that time, that was the best way. I didn't take it for granted." In 2023 Corredor was promoted to major league coach and promoted again in 2024 to Major League Field Coordinator.

Corredor returned to Venezuela during the 2023/2024 Venezuelan League season to manage the Águilas del Zulia. This was his first managing endeaver in the winter leagues.
