The position of hitting coach has been a sort of revolving door for the Yankees recently, but the organization hopes and believes it has found a solution. As of today, they’ve officially hired James Rowson to take over after the unsuccessful Dillon Lawson/Sean Casey-led 2023.
For those unfamiliar with Rowson’s work, the former minor leaguer has a rather extensive career in the majors and is no stranger to the gig.
Rowson actually started out his coaching career with the Yankees, spending over half a decade with the team’s minor league affiliates. He then went to the Cubs, where eventually he’d get his first opportunity in the majors in 2012.
