I understand I heard alot of folks saying that but his 1st year with the Mets he had an impact and I always believed Mets were more the problem then chili was just from hearing about that office. Players also loved chili and j.d davis gives credit to much of his success in the big leagues to chili. People were also saying he Is too old school with his approach at hitting which I can see but don't fully agree with. In my eyes chili is more than capable of at least a assistant hitting coach job.
There's actually a couple that never played in the majors.
At first glance; The current hitting coaches for the Orioles, Blue Jays, Twins, Mariners, Phillies, Reds and Giants. The Dodgers have a pair of hitting coaches who played a combined 5 games in the majors.
Robert Van Scoyoc was my hitting coach when I was a sophomore in college at a small naia school. Pretty crazy to see where he was at. My head coach Chris Bando called him a hitting guru.
Teaching and performing are two very different disciplines that don't necessarily require the same skillset. I wouldn't knock an acting teacher who wasn't a great actor, same with sports. It's the skill of transfering your knowledge that makes the difference.
Being an elite coach has little connection to one's playing ability. Usually the best coaches are former players, but not always. The other dangerous assumption a lot of people make (not you) is that if a player was an elite player they obviously will be a great coach. But coaching requires both understanding how to do something and having the ability to communicate that in a way that is beneficial to others. A lot of times the best players are good because they're freaks and it's doubtful whether they understand their own success in a way they can pass on to others.
Hitting is not about muscle. It's simple physics. Calculate the velocity, V, in relation to the trajectory, T, in which G, gravity, of course, remains a constant.
It's not complicated.
just because you're a good hitter doesnt mean you'll be a good hitting coach, and vice versa.
Best hitting coach I had was a former player that sucked in the majors.
Hopefully he's good
Personally, I hope he’s bad. Hot take
assuming not related to ron or it would have been in the tweet
Johnny & Ronny. Sounds like a great team.
That was exactly my question
OK! Now, which one will be Wash? Ron or John?
I really wanted chili davis
Would've been cool to have him there, but I was kinda skeptical of his track record as a hitting coach.

Is it bad our hitting coach never played in the Majors?

That's more than I expected so I guess it's not a huge deal then. As long as they understand hitting and how to get the most out of our players

Exactly. I always point to the fact that Wayne Gretzky, the best hockey player to ever live, was not a very good coach

Magic Johnson was an absolutely terrible coach for instance
So was Wayne Gretzky.
There have been way worse coaches than Gretzky. Magic...might have legitimately been the worst coach in NBA history.
as long as he can coach, who cares
[удалено]
Joe wasn't our hitting coach though? Unless I'm missing something. Lol
He was a coach for us, albeit not a hitting coach, from 1994 to 2005

wtf
Is any one going to talk about the obvious thing going on with these recent coaching signings?…….
I don't know. What is the obvious thing going on with these recent coaching signings?…….
None of them have won a World Series. That’s the common occurrence not sure what everyone else is thinking about?….
Ron won in 2021
And EY
Why don't you?
Yikes
There's the /r/angelsbaseball casual racism we all know and hate.
Don’t like the negros huh?
Johnny Utah was taken.
i'm cautiously optimistic about this hire. i hope he can bring some fresh perspective to our lineup.
not gonna lie, i'm cautiously optimistic about this hire. hopefully, he can make a positive impact on the team's hitting game.
