There was a lot of chatter about some things Myers had to fix as a hitter when he got to Tampa, so I think there’s something to that.
That turd Jack Maloof was the minor league hitting instructor for a long time before his disastrous stint as hitting coach in 2013, so I don’t think it’s a coincidence.
They were old school for too long, and the outcomes of that were overcoaching pitchers and forcing them into a specific box, and not coaching hitters enough as long as they were succeeding.
I think it has improved.
Re: Hosmer and his swing, maybe another org could have broken his bad habits... but not sure how many could have.
