The team’s score of 626 is 13th in the league, and its batting average of .233 is also 12th in the league.
Angels hitting coach Jeremy Reed will retire at the end of the season, according to multiple US media, including MLB Network’s expert reporter John Heyman. Assistant hitting coach John Murray is also retiring.
The 41-year-old lead batting coach played for four teams, including the Mariners and Mets, to which Ichiro belonged. After his retirement, he served as a hitting coach for the Brewers and has been a hitting coordinator for the Angels since 2017. He has been a hitting coach since 2019. This season, the lower batting line is sluggish, and the team’s 626 points are 13th in the league. His team batting average of .233 also languished at 12th in the league.
Heyman said, “The Angels’ lead hitting coach will not return in the 2023 season. He has established himself not only with MVP[Troutin2019ShoheiOhtaniin2021]but also with Renhefo, Ward and Walsh.”
