    Those who can't, teach.

    I always heard the saying that those who can't, teach. Guess that's the case for Red's hitting instructor Don Long. Long made it as far as AA ball and hit a whopping .191. Now he's teaching others to hit. Looks like the Red's outfielders are A students.

    Guys who were really good at hitting don't often go into coaching.

    Cozart has a stat line of .368/.415/.526/.941.

    I think he's the greatest hitting coach of all time.
