Denver, Colorado – The Colorado Rockies made a significant decision in their coaching staff, parting ways with hitting coach Hensley Meulens and naming Clint Hurdle as his replacement. This move comes after a slow start to the season by the Rockies’ offense, prompting the organization to make a change in leadership within the hitting department.
Hurdle, a former manager for the Rockies, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the hitting coach position. His familiarity with the organization and its players will be crucial as he looks to rejuvenate the team’s performance at the plate. The Rockies hope that Hurdle’s leadership will help the hitters find their stride and improve their offensive output.
Meulens, whose departure was announced alongside Hurdle’s appointment, had been with the Rockies as hitting coach for a brief period before being relieved of his duties. Despite his experience and track record in the league, the organization felt it was necessary to make a change in order to spark a turnaround in the team’s hitting performance.
The decision to bring in Hurdle as hitting coach reflects the Rockies’ commitment to finding solutions and making changes when necessary. With a new voice leading the hitters, the team hopes to see growth and development in their offensive production moving forward. Hurdle’s experience both as a player and a coach will be valuable assets as he works with the Rockies’ hitters to improve their approach at the plate.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Clint Hurdle and the impact he will have on the Rockies’ hitters. His leadership and guidance will be crucial in helping the team turn their season around and achieve success on the offensive side of the game. With new energy and direction in the hitting department, the Rockies are optimistic about the possibilities that lie ahead under Hurdle’s leadership.
