Cubs hire Anthony Iapoce as hitting coach

The Cubs last week dismissed Chili Davis after just one year as hitting coach.

Per this report from Jeff Wilson in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cubs have a new hitting coach, Anthony Iapoce:

Put another coaching search on the Texas Rangers’ to-do list.

Hitting coach Anthony Iapoce has informed the club that he is living for the same post with the Chicago Cubs, a source said on Monday.

The Rangers hired Iapoce after the 2015 season from the Cubs, for whom he had served as an assistant to the general manager in charge of their minor-league hitting program.
