Vogelbach Returns to Brewers as Hitting Coach

Daniel Vogelbach, a former designated hitter and first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers from 2020-21, is returning to the club in a new capacity. He has been named as a hitting coach on manager Pat Murphy's staff. This appointment is part of a broader shake-up of the Brewers' coaching team, with four new faces joining.

Among the other new additions are Spencer Allen as first base coach, Guillermo Martinez as hitting coach, and Juan Sandoval as assistant pitching coach. The team also announced promotions and role changes for several returning coaches. Eric Theisen, previously a hitting coach, now takes on the lead hitting coach position. Jason Lane moves to offense and strategy coordinator, and Matt Erickson will serve as the new third base coach.

Coaches like Al LeBoeuf and Julio Borbón are transitioning to player development and scouting roles. Jim Henderson shifts to pitching coordinator. Meanwhile, Néstor Corredor, Chris Hook, and Charlie Greene are returning to their previous coaching positions. Daniel de Mondesert will focus on game preparation, with Christian Correa and Ty Duvall continuing as bullpen catchers.
