After the 1984 season, Kuntz was unable to return to form the next year.
He was demoted to the minor leagues early in the 1985 season and was out of professional baseball as a player shortly thereafter. Since his playing career ended, Kuntz has worked with several MLB organizations, including the Houston Astros, Seattle Mariners, Florida Marlins, Kansas City Royals, Atlanta Braves and Pittsburgh Pirates.
He has worked as an assistant to the general manager, minor league coach, roving instructor and major league base coach.
From 2012 to 2017, he served as the first base coach for the Kansas City Royals, and has received substantial praise for his contributions to the team's success during that period.
"Rusty Kuntz", Royals manager Ned Yost has said, "is the best first base coach in baseball."
