MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: After a few days of rumors, it’s now official: the Yankees hired James Rowson to be their hitting coach for the 2024 season and, they hope, beyond that. He will be replacing interim Sean Casey, who had recently announced he wouldn’t be returning for next year.
Rowson was the ’ assistant hitting coach this past season after serving stints as hitting coach in Minnesota and the bench coach in Miami. Now, the Yankees are offering him a better position to try and resurrect an offense that ranked 25th out of 30 teams in runs scored.
