New York Is Going To Have New Hitting Coach , Assistant Hitting Coach, Third Base Coach For 2022 Season
New York, the team that wears the pinstripes is going to have a new Hitting Coach , Assistant Hitting Coach, new Third Base Coach for the 2022 season!
Why?
Marcus Thames contract isn’t going to be renewed for the 2022 season!
Assistan Hitting Coach P.J. Pilittere’s contract isn’t going to be renewed.
Why?
I don’t know the exact reason why but one my guess is because New York, the team that wears the pinstripes was a fluky 55-34 record in games determined by two runs or fewer, and MVP-caliber performances from Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, obscured their offensive underperformance: The Yanks scored only 711 runs and owned a +46 run differential, far below the division-winning Rays (+206), White Sox (+160) and Astros (+205). There was a lot of swing-and-miss in the Yankees' lineup, yet Tampa Bay struck out more, walked less and hit the same number of home runs (222) as New York, while scoring 146 more runs.

New York also isn’t going to renew third base coach Phil Nevin’s contract.
Why?
Phil Nevin had a high-profile gaffe in the AL Wild Card Game at Fenway Park on Oct. 5, waving Aaron Judge home on a Giancarlo Stanton rocket that dented the Green Monster in left field. With New York trailing 3-1, Judge was cut down at home plate, costing a possible first-and-third, one-out situation. Instead, the Yanks had two outs and Stanton at second base, on their way to an eventual 6-2 defeat.
Marcas Thames had this to say about not having his renewed for the 2020 season!
They made a decision,”“I just hate that we didn’t win a championship. But they want to go in a different direction, I guess. I wasn’t the voice that they thought [would] get us over the hump.”

Phil Nevin had this to say after the American League Wildcard Game , 6-2 loss to Boston!
I know what it looks like,” Nevin told the New York Post after the game. “I know what the situation is. I know what kind of third-base coach I am. I made a play to win the game. It didn’t work out. It was a great baseball play on their side. In a big moment, it didn’t go our way.”
