Greg Brown got one season on the job as the Cubs’ hitting coach, a position that has seen plenty of turnover in the past decade.
Brown will not return next season as the Cubs hitting coach, the Sun-Times confirmed. He was offered another position within the organization but decided to seek opportunities elsewhere. The Cubs will promote Dustin Kelly from minor-league hitting coordinator to major-league hitting coach.
This year was Brown’s first on a major-league coaching staff, as part of a robust and eclectic career in baseball.
Brown, a former minor-league player, was an area scout with the Astros in 2009-2010 before spending nine seasons as the head coach at Nova Southeastern University.
