Sean Casey announced on Wednesday that he will not return as the Yankees' hitting coach next season.
“It was a tough decision for me,” Casey said. “There was no offer made, but I do think I could have come back had I wanted to. That time right now is not perfect for me.”
“I just can’t imagine being away for eight months, in New York, while they’re here in Pittsburgh,” Casey added. “For me, I just decided to get back to what I was doing before I joined the Yankees.”. While he successfully injected a fresh perspective into the coaching staff — connecting well with all players thanks to his extensive experience during his playing career and his boisterous personality — the Yankees’ production on offense didn’t improve.
Lawson’s “hit strikes hard” mentality didn’t translate to the big-league level, but it’s been largely effective for the Yankees in the minor leagues. As the organization looks in the mirror this winter, deciphering what led to their worst season in three decades, that needs to be kept in mind. It goes without saying that the Yankees need to improve their lineup as well. A coaching staff can only do so much with a flawed roster. Adding bats this offseason should be at the top of general managerto-do list. Talent, lineup balance and youth, acquiring more left-handed hitters and developing the phenoms that are poised to be mainstays in pinstripes — like Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells and Jasson Domínguez — must be a priority.
