David Ray Roberts (Japanese: 池原 礼, Ikehara Rei, born May 31, 1972), nicknamed "Doc", is an American professional baseball manager and former outfielder who is the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB). He played for five MLB teams over a ten-year career and then coached for the San Diego Padres before being named Dodgers manager in 2016. Although he played for the Boston Red Sox for only part of one season, his most notable achievement as a player was a key stolen base in the 2004 American League Championship Series that extended the Red Sox's postseason, which culminated in a championship in the 2004 World Series. The son of an African American father and Japanese mother, Roberts became the first manager of Asian heritage to lead a team to the World Series in 2017, when the Dodgers captured the National League pennant. After another appearance in 2018, Roberts broke through with World Series victories in 2020, 2024, and 2025. Roberts is the first manager of Asian heritage and second Black manager to lead a team to a World Series title following Cito Gaston and preceding Dusty Baker.
