The Yankees made a change at hitting coach going into the All-Star break.
They fired hitting coach Dillon Lawson and replaced him with former All-Star first baseman and MLB Network analyst Sean Casey.
Casey aka “The Mayor” joined Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman on Thursday on a new episode of “The Show” podcast to talk about his new role as Yankees hitting coach.
‘The Show’ Podcast with Joel Sherman & Jon Heyman:
- METS’ BAD FIRST HALF: What happened? If Mets starting pitchers can be better in second half, there is a chance for them to make the playoffs. It would be a tall order for the Mets to make the playoffs and they didn’t make a change. Mets need bullpen help.
- YANKEES’ MEDIOCRE FIRST HALF: Offense was struggling. They hired Sean Casey as hitting coach. Will it make a big difference? A coaching change sometimes makes a difference for a team. Will they make the playoffs?
