Current Blue Jays bench coach Dave Hudgens was the Houston Astros hitting coach in 2017, he was also one of 68 people interviewed during Major League Baseballs investigation into the Astros sign-stealing scandal.
Hudgens fully cooperated with the investigation, however, the 63-year old is by no means admitting knowledge or taking responsibility for the cheating. It would be one thing if Hudgens was the pitching coach but he was in fact the hitting coach, the likelihood of him having no knowledge of the cheating is slim to none.
John Lott of The Athletic recently sat down with Hudgens at the Winter Fest festivities this past weekend.
