Boston Red Sox legend Manny Ramírez is looking for work as an MLB hitting coach. MLB insider Jon Heyman of The New York Post reported on this development in recent days.
In terms of qualifications, Ramírez doesn’t have a wealth of coaching experience, but what he does have are Hall of Fame-worthy hitting numbers: 555 home runs, a .312 batting average, and a .996 OPS across 19 MLB seasons. It’s no surprise that fans across the league are already pushing their favorite team to hire Ramírez.
Manny’s fit with the Red Sox makes sense for multiple reasons.
