Marlins To Name Dillon Lawson Hitting Coach

The Marlins have settled on former Yankees hitting coach and former Red Sox assistant hitting coach Dillon Lawson as their next hitting coach, reports Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald . Lawson joined the Marlins organization as a roving hitting coach this past summer, following his April dismissal in Boston. Miami moved on from hitting coach Pedro Guerrero following the season after its offense turned in a middle-of-the-pack performance. There were some obvious breakouts — Otto Lopez , Liam Hicks , Javier Sanoja — but several young Marlins hitters trended the wrong direction.
