The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to bring back Kevin Seitzer for a second season as the club’s hitting coach.
While no formal announcement on the fate of any of the team’s coaches has been made yet, indications are no change at hitting coach is being planned.
PROGRAMMING NOTE: Watch the LCS on Sportsnet Tuesday starting at 4 p.m. EST.
Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News suggested on Twitter Sunday night that the Blue Jays had spoken to former Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long about their job.
But the Blue Jays as a matter of process speak with many available coaches to see if there’s a fit anywhere in the organization.
Pro scout Jim Skaalen, for example, was hired after the Oakland Athletics let him go as their hitting coach.
