Over the last several seasons, the Yankees have sought to upgrade their minor league coaching ranks under the guidance of minor league hitting coordinator Dillon Lawson and pitching coordinator Sam Briend. College baseball has become a type of breeding ground for cutting edge training methods, and many of the Yankees new coaches have come from the college coaching ranks. In late 2019, Lawson hired Ari Adut from Los Angeles Valley College to be one of the Yankees hitting coaches for their team that was preparing to play in the Dominican Summer League. Adut took the time to discuss with us his unique path to the Yankees organization and his background in the sport.
