""In recent years, the Red Sox have overhauled their training and development processes throughout the minors, with a significant infusion of employees either from Driveline, a baseball training organization, or versed in its training methods.""
""Breslow and Driveline emphasize pulling the ball in the air, but some in the organization wondered whether the tactics meshed with the hitters on the roster.""
""Inexperience within the coaching staff was also cited as a concern. While Driveline's impact is growing across the sport, some questioned whether the experience level of those implementing it aligned with the demands of major-league roles.""
Craig Breslow's decision to fire manager Alex Cora was not spontaneous but contemplated for some time. Tensions arose from Cora's defense of hitting coach Peter Fatse, who focused on subjective factors over objective training goals. Breslow, influenced by Driveline Baseball, aimed to enhance training and development through data-driven methods. Concerns emerged regarding the alignment of Driveline's tactics with the current roster and the inexperience of the coaching staff in major-league roles. The Red Sox are seeking to revitalize their approach amid these challenges.
