Buehrle>Wood Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Seems a very power heavy approach. Also of note seems he worked as an offseason hitting coach while he was a scout with the Dodgers.

Balta1701 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Although he wasn’t the full hitting coach, the overall Royals launch angle the last 2 years has been 12.8 degrees; very consistent year to year and in the middle of the pack. The White Sox have had one of the lowest launch angles in baseball consistently over the entire statcast era and across two hitting coaches, so this is a statistic I hope to see change. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vote4Pedro Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Unless his approach is straight bunting he’s already a better hire than what we’ve had here in the past 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Same dude who is accredited with getting more power out of Solar and Salvy, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierSox Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I think I heard somewhere he went to High school with Grifol and they are good friends. Interesting that he was an international scout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and i can’t wait until Menechino gets hired somewhere and articles come out saying how he led the White Sox to having one of the highest batting averages in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did objectively lead the Sox to having the highest batting average in the league. That emphasis is literally what made him a failure. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 What's weird is Salvy and Soler, while big power guys, are also really low OBP guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going to happen when you sell out for power. You're going to be a bad hitter. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppysox Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I will trust Pedro and his coaches until they prove that trust to be undeserved. It's simply a lot more fun to have a positive attitude than b**** and moan all day long. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Mennechino's approach was maddening to watch as a fan. If this guy's approach is different, that is all I need to know for now. They need more power, especially playing 81 games on the South Side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
