Yesterday evening, Kyle Boddy, the founder of Driveline, informed the public that the Angels had hired numerous baseball coaches from unorthodox backgrounds to join the organization’s player development staff.
I regret to inform you that the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have hired not one, not two, but three - yes, three - baseball coaches from twitter dot com with little to no previous pro experience, and none currently coaching pro baseball.@TJeskeLAA was first to go public. pic.twitter.com/pkWaD3uo7b

Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic broke the news that those two are Tyler Jeske, a Director of Baseball Operations at Missouri State, and Derek Florko, a “former manager of hitting at Axe bat”.
