NEW YORK -- James Rowson, who developed a good relationship with Aaron Judge in the minor leagues, was hired Monday as the Yankees hitting coach after a season in which New York finished with the next-to-worst batting average in the major leagues.
Dillon Lawson was fired at the All-Star break after 1 1/2 seasons as hitting coach in New York's first in-season coaching change since Nardi Contreras replaced Billy Connors as pitching coach in July 1995. Lawson was replaced by Sean Casey, who decided he didn't want to return for 2024.
