Former MLB player and coach Thad Bosley has reportedly been hired as the next hitting coach of the Texas Rangers. Bosley replaces Clint Hurdle, who left after just one season to take over the managerial job in Pittsburgh. Bosley interviewed for the same position last season, finishing 2nd to Hurdle.
Bosley acted as hitting coach for the Oakland A's from 1999-2002, working with then fielding coach and current Rangers manager Ron Washington.
Bosley played pro ball for parts of 14 seasons (1977-90), hitting a career .272 in 784 games.
During their lone season with Clint Hurdle, Texas led the league in hitting with a .276 average.
