The Seattle Mariners have recently made a major move to help improve their offense. The team has hired two new hitting coaches, Tim Laker and Justin Turner, to help revamp their offensive production.
Tim Laker is a former Major League Baseball player who spent seven seasons in the big leagues. He was an All-Star in 2000 and was a member of the Cleveland Indians World Series team in 1997. He also served as the hitting coach for the Cleveland Indians from 2012-2015.
Justin Turner is a former Minor League Baseball player who has been a hitting coach in the Mariners organization since 2016. He has worked with many of the Mariners’ top prospects and has been credited with helping develop some of the team’s best young hitters.
The Mariners have been struggling offensively for the past few seasons and have been looking for ways to improve their production. The team believes that these two new hires will be able to help turn things around.
Laker and Turner will be tasked with helping the Mariners’ hitters improve their approach at the plate. They will focus on helping the players understand the importance of plate discipline and pitch selection. They will also work to help the hitters make better contact and use the whole field when hitting.
The Mariners are hoping that these two new hires will be able to help them get back to being one of the top offensive teams in baseball. With the addition of Laker and Turner, the team is confident that they can make a big difference in their offense and help them get back into contention in the American League West.
