New York Yankees Editorial: Who Will be the Yankees Next Hitting Coach?

This past weekend the Yankees decided to shake things up by firing their hitting coach Jeff Pentland after just one season in the Bronx.

Despite critiquing an offense that scored the second-most runs in the MLB (764) and blasted the fourth most homers (212) in 2015, Pentland became the second hitting coach to be fired by the Yankees in as many seasons.

That said, who will be the Yankees hitting coach come opening day 2016?

If it were up to me, I would choose former Yankee Raul Ibanez. Though Ibanez played just one season for the Yankees in 2012, he was a veteran leader in the Yankees clubhouse and is well-respected across the major leagues.
