Marlins name Barry Bonds new hitting coach
The Miami Marlins have named Barry Bonds their new hitting coach.
What It Means:
Bonds will be the club's hitting coach while former hitting coach Frank Menechino will move to assistant hitting coach duties. It's a flashy hire for the Marlins but one that could actually pay off with substance, too; Bonds drew good reviews from the San Francisco Giants when he served as a guest instructor during spring training last season.
In 2015, the Marlins ranked 26th in the major leagues in team OPS at .694 despite an eighth-best .260 team batting average.
