    With Cintron suspended, Troy Snitker becomes the Astros primary hitting coach. From 2011 to 2013, he has two years in the minors (A), one year in independent ball. He has a batting average of .236 as a professional. He is the son of the Braves manager. Snitker joined the organization in 2019.

    Excellent. He can coach them on how to hit .236 :). I'm sure it'll be fine. This is fine.

    He’s young. Like, really young. Less than a year older than George Springer young, and a lot younger than Yuli Gurriel. That doesn’t mean that he might not be a good hitting coach, but damn...
