Red Sox prospect Franklin Primera DOMINATED the Florida Complex League ⤵️

Primera was the FCL’s purest hitter, and he departed the league carrying a .427/.549/.718 line over 32 games. He produced those numbers through improved bat speed and sound swing decisions, which resulted in a player scouts believe can be at least an average hitter with plus power.

More on Primera and other FCL standouts:

Only seven Red Sox homegrown right-handed hitters have had 20+ home run seasons since 2007. Boston has had difficulty developing RHH power. But that narrative might be changing. The Sox have nine prospects w/ 10 or more homers are right-handed hitters:

Meanwhile, this is what we’re looking at for former @DrivelineBB hitting coaches next season

3 MLB Hitting Coaches
4 in Director level positions
4 in Coordinator roles
2 AAA Hitting Coaches
2 AA Hitting Coaches
Many others throughout the rest of MiLB and college baseball with more Orgs constantly reaching out about our staff.

That doesn’t happen being “one dimensional”, what we do works whether you like it or not.

Grateful for the opportunity to join the Boston Red Sox as AA Hitting Coach. Excited to work alongside a first-class organization and a group of exceptional people. Ready to get started!

The best is ahead!

RT @Brent_Rooker25: The fact that the idea of “swinging the bat faster is better” is considered new age analytical thinking is insane.

@godlikestats Networking is huge too. Definitely recommend going to hitting/baseball conventions and being vulnerable and meeting people, attending “hot stove” type meetups, and even cold emailing/DMing prominent coaches asking for advice.

[Jason Ochart @JasonOchart]

@godlikestats Showcasing your work is maybe the most important. I highly encourage people to share concisely written case studies or write-ups highlighting the improvements their hitters made + how they got there. Major plus if training data in included (Blast, HitTrax, etc)

[Jason Ochart @JasonOchart]

@JaredB_BSBL Yes 2026, thanks for flagging! I’ll have it adjusted

[Jason Ochart @JasonOchart]

@tyler981 Yes, hiring for milb assistant hitting coach roles 👍

YOUR BOSTON RED SOX ARE POSTSEASON BOUND!

[Eric Kozak @kozy_shack]

Changing the reference point for a hitter can drastically shift their perception of a movement

Do the hands move forward through space? Absolutely.
Do they move relative to the torso? Barely.

Some common reference points are:
• Another body part
• An external object
• Space
