The New York Yankees have made a major move in their coaching staff, hiring former Major League Baseball player Sean Casey as their new hitting coach following the dismissal of Dillon Lawson. According to an Associated Press source, the Yankees have decided to bring in Casey to help improve the team’s offensive performance.
Casey, who played for the Cincinnati Reds, Pittsburgh Pirates, Detroit Tigers, and Boston Red Sox during his 12-year career, has been working as a broadcaster for MLB Network since his retirement in 2008. He also served as a special assistant to the general manager for the Reds in 2017.
The Yankees have been struggling offensively this season, ranking near the bottom of the league in batting average, home runs, and runs scored. They have also been struggling to score runs with runners in scoring position. The Yankees hope that Casey can help turn things around and get the team back on track.
Casey is known for his ability to connect with players and help them improve their hitting. He has worked with some of the best hitters in the game, including Joey Votto, Miguel Cabrera, and Albert Pujols. He is also known for his ability to break down hitting mechanics and help players make adjustments.
The Yankees are hoping that Casey can help get their offense back on track and help them make a run at the playoffs. It remains to be seen if he can have the same success he had with other teams, but the Yankees are certainly hoping he can.
