The White Sox did not wait long to name a new hitting coach.
A week after announcing that hitting coach Todd Steverson and assistant hitting coach Greg Sparks would not return for the 2020 season, the team named Frank Menechino as Steverson's replacement Thursday.
The White Sox hired Menechino, who they drafted way back in 1993, as the hitting coach at Triple-A Charlotte last winter, and after one season working alongside highly rated prospects Luis Robert and Nick Madrigal, among others, Menechino is now the guy at the major league level.
Charlotte led the International League in runs scored, ranked second in on-base percentage and slugging percentage and ranked third in home runs during the 2019 season.
