The Phillies scored 39 less runs than any other major league team in 2016 and had the lowest OPS in baseball in 2016. They also had the 7th most strikeouts, only one team walked less, only one team had a worse on-base percentage, and only one team had a worst slugging percentage.
What happens to teams like that? They fire their hitting coaches, that’s what.
Steve Henderson was fired by the Phillies recently (update: Matt Stairs will take his place next season), which should come as no surprise considering the Phillies were the worst offense in baseball.
