If I had asked you during the 2022 season, “Who’s the Cubs’ hitting coach?” I’ll bet you wouldn’t have been able to tell me.
Greg Brown, who had been hired from the Rays organization last November and had been the minor-league hitting coordinator for Tampa Bay for two seasons, and a college baseball coach before that, is the answer to that question. He’s so anonymous that the only decent photo I have available to me is the one above, posing for a selfie with Franmil Reyes and Christopher Morel at the Field of Dreams in August.
