After two years as assistant hitting coach with the Dodgers, Tim Hyers left to join Alex Cora’s staff with the Red Sox. Hyers was announced on Saturday as Boston’s new hitting coach, rejoining an organization he was previously with for seven seasons.
Hyers, 46, was an area scout with the Red Sox from 2009-12, then served as the club’s minor league hitting coordinator from 2013-15. He also served as the Red Sox interim hitting coach for part of 2014 when Greg Colbrunn was revocering from an injury.
With the Dodgers Hyers was the assistant hitting coach, working with hitting coach Turner Ward, and in 2017 was also the director of minor league hitting.
