Your quote...

""I don't know first hand as to how good the hitting coaches are in the MLB, but what I have heard from respectable people that most are not that good. But they're coaching MLB hitters and we're not so they either know someone or they're doing something right or thier players are doing good despite of them.""

Graylon, Who are these respectable people that told you this? Are they involved with MLB? Would they like to be but can't?

Did you know that probably the biggest reason that a MLB hitting coach has his job with a team is because the players of that team want him there. They want him there because he helps their season and career.

If a hitting coach is not wanted...the players and front office will make that happen.

Anyone that thinks a MLB hitting coach is in the Major Leagues for any reason other than the fact that he can help the team win is either misinformed or jealous.
