It's the 2022 season for the St. Louis River Walkers.
It's been two years without playoffs, and much of that has been due to a steady decline at the plate.
In the offseason, I hired Kozo Shoda as a hitting coach.
He came in with metrics of 101 (handle players), 101 (veterans), 100 (rookies) and teach hitting (143).
I allow myself to look at these ratings, considering them the sabermetrics of coaching ratings since nothing else other than "good", "neutral", etc., is really available.
Shoda was rated a good but has been downgraded to average.
I started the season 7-1, hit like crazy.
20 games in I was 14-6 and still in the top five in most categories.
Since than, I am 4-11, and have dropped to near the bottom of every team hitting category.
Most of the regulars have seen their average drop 30-points or more.
And if I put up three runs or more in a game, it's a moral victory.
I've been quick to fire the hitting coach in the past, is May 14 too quick for this one?
