  • Aaron Boone Eager to See Dillon Lawsons

    After three seasons as the organizations minor league hitting coordinator, the Yankees decided Dillon Lawson was ready for The Show Anthony Miller Jersey .The 36-year-old was recently named New Yorks new hitting coach, replacing Marcus Thames on the major league staff. Lawson previously served as a hitting coach at the Single-A levels of the Astros system (2016, 2018) and at the University of Mi souri in 2017. None of that is quite the same as being a major league staffer, but the Yankees believe Lawson is more than deserving of his promotion after years of player development.Hes kind of earned this opportunity based on the quality of work weve seen from him and the impact weve seen him have on hitters, Aaron Boone said of Lawson after .READ: Lawson certainly did a strong job coordinating New Yorks minor league hitters in his last gig. Per the team, Yankees minor leaguers rank fourth in slugging percentage (.404) and Tarik Cohen Jersey OPS (.743) since 2019. Theyre sixth in on-base percentage (.339) and runs per game (5.12) over that Richard Dent Jersey span. The clubs full-season affiliates are fourth in homers (1,134) since then.Scroll to ContinueThis past season was particularly fruitful under Lawsons watch, as New Yorks minor leaguers ranked first in slugging percentage (.435) and OPS (.792), second in OBP (.358), third in runs per game (5.80) and seventh in batting average (.253).Hes had a really, really strong impact on our minor leagues, Boone said. Really, acro s the board, all our levels were really dynamic offensively. I feel like hes had a really strong impact on not only our top prospects, but even some fringe guys.Boone and the Yankees are now hoping Lawsons minor league work translates to the next level, where hell be joined by a sistant Riley Ridley Jersey hitting coaches Casey Dykes and Eric Chavez. Theyre currently barred from talking to New Yorks big leaguers due to the MLB lockout, but Boone said Lawson was able to get a few meaningful se sions and conversations in before that began.I do feel like hes off to a really good start with a lot of our players, Boone said. Were really excited about what he can do. Now we get to see it at the big league level and hopefully really have a positive impact on our offense Chase Daniel Jersey .MORE:
