The Yankees' new hitting coach is raising some familiar questions about the use of analytics to make decisions. Julio Rodríguez replicated Josh Hamilton's electricity in a Home Run Derby loss. Plus, The Windup has a Shohei Ohtani update.
Every time a person from a traditional background is hired for a significant coaching or managing position, a diminished, displaced class of veteran baseball people asks hopefully, “Is this team moving away from analytics?”The answer is never yes. Analytics are entrenched in the game, no matter how much old-school types want to wish them away. But the Yankees’ on Monday again prompted the question. And the discussion is at least, well, interesting.
While Casey, 49, certainly became well-acquainted with analytics during his 14 years as an analyst for MLB Network, it’s doubtful the Yankees hired him because of his facility with numbers. No, they likely saw him as someone who not only had a strong relationship with Boone, but also could connect more easily with their veteran hitters than the coach he is replacing, Dillon Lawson.
