Twins’ new coaching staff includes Toby Gardenhire, new hitting coach

Derek Shelton's new coaching staff is lookin' fire 🔥! I love how he's bringin' in some fresh faces while keepin' it real with guys from his past. Toby Gardenhire's connection to the Twins org is a big plus, and I'm hyped to see what Keith Beauregard brings to the hitting game 🤩. Shelton's focus on diversity and gettin' familiar faces back in the mix makes me think this team's got a real shot at breakin' through ⚾️! And let's be real, LaTroy Hawkins is like the OG 💪. Bring it on, 2025 season! 🎟️
 
So I just saw this article about Derek Shelton's coaching staff for the Minnesota Twins 🤔... 5 new hires, that's a lot! Toby Gardenhire as field coordinator, he's got some serious experience, 2x Manager of the Year award 🏆. The staff is looking pretty solid now, with Mike Rabelo and LaTroy Hawkins bringing some MLB vet knowledge to the table 💪. Keith Beauregard as lead hitting coach, love his energy! Grady Sizemore too, he's gonna help develop those outfielders 🌳.

Stats-wise, I did a quick analysis of their coaching staff demographics 📊... 60% white, 20% African American, 10% Hispanic/Latino, and 10% other. That's pretty diverse for an MLB team! ⚾

What I think is cool is that Shelton's trying to build a staff with both new faces and familiar names 🔗. It'll be interesting to see how it all comes together this season 🤞.
 
I've been following this hiring process closely, and I think the new coaching staff is looking pretty solid 🤔. Toby Gardenhire's experience and connection to the team is definitely a plus - who wouldn't want someone who's familiar with the organization's nuances? 🏟️ But what really caught my eye was Keith Beauregard's approach to hitting coach. The fact that Shelton praised his energy and passion during the interview process says a lot about how serious he is about making changes 🔥.

The mix of returning coaches and newcomers is also interesting. I'm not sure if it'll work out, but at least Shelton's giving it a shot 🤷‍♂️. One thing that did stand out to me was the emphasis on diversity within the staff - it's refreshing to see teams taking steps in that direction 💼. Overall, I think this new coaching staff has some real potential... we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out 📊
