Coaching vet Iapoce named Reds' assistant hitting coach
The Reds on Wednesday announced one new hire to manager Terry Francona's coaching staff, naming Anthony Iapoce as the club's assistant hitting coach.
Iapoce, 53, enters his 10th season on a Major League coaching staff, having most recently served as the Astros' assistant hitting coach during the 2026 campaign. Under his guidance, Houston led Major League Baseball with 226 home runs, its fifth-most in a single season in franchise history. Before that, he spent the previous 2 seasons as the first base coach for the Detroit Tigers, helping the club reach the Postseason in both years.
