The Kansas City Royals’ disappointing start in 2022 has claimed its first victim on the coaching staff.
Hitting coach Terry Bradshaw has been removed from his role and is no longer with the team, the Royals announced Monday morning. Alec Zumwalt — the team’s senior director for player development and hitting performance — will immediately join the big-league staff while overseeing all hitting efforts.
The Royals also stated that assistant hitting coach Keoni DeRenne and special assignment hitting coach Mike Tosar will retain their roles and will now be in uniform with the big-league team.
