Atlanta Braves Appoint Tim Hyers as New Hitting Coach

Hyers, a World Series-winning coach, replaces Kevin Seitzer after a major staff overhaul.

Tim Hyers, an Atlanta native, joins the Braves after three successful seasons with the Texas Rangers, where he won a World Series in 2023.
Hyers replaces Kevin Seitzer, who served as the Braves' hitting coach for a decade before being dismissed following an injury-plagued season.
During his coaching career, Hyers has worked with 12 Silver Slugger award winners and contributed to high-performing offenses in Boston and Texas.
The Braves' lineup for 2025 will feature returning stars like Ronald Acuña Jr. and Austin Riley, who missed significant time last season due to injuries.
Hyers aims to revitalize the Braves' offense, including helping players like Jarred Kelenic reach their full potential after underwhelming performances.
