The Yankees are choosing to go short-term with their hitting coach situation, as the Yankees hire MLB Network analyst and former big leaguer Sean Casey.
Moving on from a longtime member of the organization Dillion Lawson, they’ve reached an agreement with Casey to join the Yankees as their hitting coach for the 2023 season. Looking for a better communicator for the players, the Yankees brought in a former All-Star with big-league experience that Aaron Boone is familiar with, hoping the players will better understand the organization’s offensive game plan.
With the Yankees ranking in the bottom 10 in AVG, OBP, wRC+, and OPS, they needed a jolt, and while they’ll need to add reinforcements to their lineup, perhaps a new voice can aid them as well.
