The Dodgers introduced their minor league teaching staffs this afternoon. Zach Reks, who performed final yr in Double-A with the Padres, has been employed as a hitting coach with L.A.’s Arizona Advanced League affiliate.
It seems he’s retiring as a participant at age 31. Reks performed within the large leagues with the Dodgers and Rangers between 2021-22. He hit .205/.205/.227 in 22 video games. The lefty-hitting outfielder appeared with the Lotte Giants within the Korea Baseball Group in 2023. Reks returned to affiliated ball on a minor league contract with San Diego final offseason. He slumped to a .127 batting common in 64 Double-A contests.
Whereas that’s a troublesome finish to his taking part in days, Reks was a very good minor league hitter. He posted a .276/.372/.459 line in practically 1800 minor league plate appearances. That features a .290/.388/.537 slash over 902 journeys to the plate in Triple-A. MLBTR congratulates Reks on reaching the massive leagues and needs him one of the best in his teaching profession.
