Earlier this month the Colorado Rockies and hitting coach Dave Magadan made the mutual decision to part ways following a disastrous season. Now the Rockies are hunting for a new hitting coach—one who can repair an offense that was wildly ineffective in 2022. The Rockies offense was one of the worst in team history, hitting their fewest home runs since the 1993 and 1994 expansion years. They also had the highest ground ball percentage in the league, which was also the highest in Rockies franchise history.
The Rockies hired Dave Magadan after he and the Arizona Diamondbacks mutually parted ways themselves following the 2018 season.
