He spent the previous four seasons leading the Greenville Drive, Boston’s Class-A South Atlantic League affiliate. Fenster led the Greenville Drive (South Atlantic League) to their first championship in team history in 2017.

His managerial career began with the GCL Red Sox in 2013 where he led the team to a division title and appearance in the Gulf Coast League Championship Series, after serving as hitting coach for Greenville in his professional coaching debut in 2012 where future Major Leaguers Blake Swihart, Garin Cecchini, Henry Owens, and Matt Barnes would make their full-season professional debuts.
