Washington Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez pointed to Darnell Coles’ “great rapport with both veterans and young players,” and, “... thorough understanding of the analytics that we would like to incorporate,” as two of the factors which made him the right pick, when it came time to pick a new hitting coach in the nation’s capital.
“We are very excited to add Darnell Coles as our hitting coach,” Martinez said in the club’s press release on the signing.
