Overview

• The Colorado Rockies have dismissed hitting coach Hensley Meulens following a 3–15 start to the 2025 season, the worst record in Major League Baseball.
• Clint Hurdle, a former Rockies manager and long-time hitting coach, has been named hitting coach for the remainder of the season.
• The Rockies lead the National League in strikeouts with 195 and rank near the bottom in team batting average at .220 through mid-April.
• Hurdle brings extensive experience, having guided the Rockies to their first World Series appearance in 2007 and later managing the Pirates to three postseason berths.
• The move reflects the organization’s effort to stabilize its struggling offense and support the development of younger players.
