Darnell Coles, hired as the Washington Nationals’ new hitting coach in October, (following the departure of Kevin Long, who left and signed on in Philadelphia after four seasons in D.C.), talked during his introductory press conference about knowing what to do with Juan Soto once he and the 23-year-old start working together in Spring Training (assuming we’ll have ST and a season when the lockout eventually ends).
“I think with Juan Soto — what I’ve dug into there, is that nobody under any circumstances is to mess with his swing,” Coles said.
