The Minnesota Twins have appointed Matt Borgschulte as their new hitting coach following a disappointing end to their season, which saw them slump to a .218 batting average in September. Borgschulte, who served as a co-hitting coach with the Baltimore Orioles, is credited with aiding the Orioles in achieving high offensive rankings, including second in home runs and fourth in runs scored in 2024. Previously, he worked with the Twins' minor league teams, providing him familiarity with current players like Royce Lewis and Ryan Jeffers. The Twins dismissed their previous hitting coaches, including David Popkins, who has since joined the Toronto Blue Jays. Borgschulte's appointment is part of a broader effort to address the team's offensive inconsistencies and develop their young hitters. Manager Rocco Baldelli praised Borgschulte's ability to balance technical hitting mechanics with game strategy and planning.
