After hearing that Sean Casey will not be returning, the New York Yankees have begun their search for a new hitting coach. Former Yankees Tino Martinez and Nick Swisher have been mentioned as possible successors for the outgoing coaches. Swisher, who has been more actively participating with the squad as of late, has the ability to play a larger leadership role.

After leaving his position as hitting coach for the Miami Marlins in 2013 due to claims of player mistreatment, Martinez has been working as a coach in the Cape Cod League. No matter who the Yankees hire to be their new hitting coach, they will need to find a way to incorporate minor-league techniques with major-league operations.
