Since we dont hire 3B Coaches & Fielding Coaches to our Minor League teams, do our ML ones affect the progression of our prospects in the Minors? Thanks!

Fielding coaches definitely affect every level of development which is why they are so coveted. Not sure about 1B and 3B coaches, I'd guess that they only affect the ML system based on the descriptions in the Coaches page within the Players Guide: https://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Main/PlayersGuide.aspx

First and third base coaches only affect your major-league team. prezuiwf is correct regarding fielding coaches. They affect every level of your system. Thus, if you hire a fielding coach with bad fielding ratings, not only will your major-league defense suffer, but you will stunt the fielding growth of your prospects.
