Overview

• The Colorado Rockies have dismissed hitting coach Hensley Meulens following a poor 3-15 start to the 2025 season.
• Clint Hurdle, who managed the Rockies from 2002 to 2009 and led them to a World Series appearance in 2007, has been appointed as interim hitting coach through the end of the season.
• The Rockies rank near the bottom of MLB offensively, with a .220 team batting average, 12 home runs, and 52 runs scored over 18 games.
• Meulens had served as the Rockies' hitting coach since 2022 after a successful tenure with the San Francisco Giants, where he helped guide them to three World Series titles.
• The move reflects growing accountability within the organization as the team seeks to rebound from consecutive 100-loss seasons under manager Bud Black.
