DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Rockies have brought in Hensley Meulens to serve as hitting coach after back-to-back lackluster seasons at the plate.

Meulens was an assistant hitting coach for the New York Yankees in 2022.

He will be counted on to revamp a Rockies lineup that hit .254 last season, the second-lowest mark behind only the 2021 squad that hit .249.
