DETAILS ON Kevin Seitzer SUSPENSION AND IS RETIREMENT….

Kevin Seitzer, hitting coach for the Atlanta Braves, has been honored as Baseball America’s Coach of the Year.

Kevin Seitzer, the hitting coach for the Atlanta Braves, has been recognized as Baseball America’s MLB Coach of the Year, marking a well-deserved acknowledgment for his integral role in the team’s historic offensive performance.

Undoubtedly, the Braves boasted the most formidable offense throughout the entire regular season, setting records such as becoming the first team to maintain a slugging percentage over .500 for the entirety of the season and equalling the MLB single-season team home run record with 307 homers.

While the statistics speak volumes, it’s essential to recognize the influence of a respected mentor in the locker room. Seitzer, known for his humble demeanor, responded to the accolade with characteristic modesty, stating, “Well, this has to be a mistake, because I just got to coach the offense of the year.”

Under Seitzer’s guidance, the Braves offense reached unprecedented heights in 2023, with standout performances from players like NL MVP Ronald Acuna Jr. Acuna’s remarkable season, including joining the exclusive 40/70 club, underscored the team’s collective improvement in reducing strikeout rates, a testament to Seitzer’s coaching prowess.

Moreover, the youth and longevity of the Braves’ roster bode well for sustained success, fueled by their relentless pursuit of improvement and bolstered by Seitzer’s expertise. As they navigate the inevitable challenges of baseball, they can rely on their exceptional hitting coach to guide them through. Congratulations to Kevin Seitzer on a thoroughly deserved award.
