Hitting coaches

[Pat Kelly]

Is there anyone that has improved under the guidance of Ryan Fuller under Matt Bourgschulte?  Who has been helped the most? I know it’s a bit of cliche to blame the hitting coach, but it does seem like the pitching staff is doing more with less.  The hitting instructors reference EV and swing decisions and results will follow, but not seeing improvement mostly regression across the board.

Saw this earlier but didn't have the energy to make a thread.

Interview with Fuller.

Hays, Mancini, and Santander look way better than last year.

Adley Rutschman and Kyle Stowers did well with him in Bowie. The O's lineup is not setting anything on fire but maybe we're just not that good.

Not sure you're going to change Mullins, Hays and Mountcastle very much. I believe this is a system wide approach, Stowers, Westburg, Henderson, Cowser and Mayo are the ones to watch going forward.

On the MASN broadcast today they mentioned that Odor made some mechanical updates with his swing. His hitting has been much improved lately, so maybe the hitting coaches had something to do with that.

When it comes to a philosophical change to hitting, it takes a buy in and lots of time to make these changes. To have them sink in daily reps, and then to become the sub-conscious reaction in the process of hitting. They are changing things they have done for 20 years or more. The payoff can be great, but it can be tough. It can take weeks and often several months.

Whether it is good, bad or indifferent, I do believe the coaching Anthony Santander, Gunnar Henderson and Colton Cowser have been getting, and that 2022 1-1 is going to get, is coherent.

I think the key to the Orioles' future success is to fire Terry Crowley.  Wait... what?
