MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) — The Milwaukee Brewers have promoted from within for a new hitting coach.
Ozzie Timmons was let go after three seasons as Brewers lead hitting coach. He will be replaced by 64 year old Al LeBoeuf who will be starting his 16th season in the Brewers organization.
LeBeouf has been the hitting coach at the Brewers AAA affiliates in Nashville and San Antonio.
Eric Theisen will also join the hitting coach staff. The 39 year old worked with LeBeouf at Nashville.
Connor Dawson will remain on the hitting coach staff.
Although neither LeBeouf or Theisen have major league experience, they both worked extensively with the Brewers young hitters in the minor leagues.
