Jeremy Reed has been the LA Angels hitting coordinator in the minor leagues since 2016, and has spent the last two seasons with the organization. He has received extremely high praise from a number of players, and might be what the team needs to take the next step on offense in 2019.
Reed played eight seasons in the majors, and was never a great player during his time in the bigs. However, he quickly turned to coaching as he was hired by the Milwaukee Brewers shortly after retiring.
Reed joins Doug White as the two first hires under Brad Ausmus, and he could be the one with the biggest impact.
