The Twins have informed hitting coach David Popkins that he won't return next season, marking a significant coaching change after three years with the team.
Despite good overall hitting numbers over the past three years, the Twins' disappointing September performance and the absence of key players have led to Popkins' exit.
It's always challenging to separate a coach's influence from player performance, and the Twins faced injuries to key players, contributing to their late-season struggles.
Although Popkins' tenure included successful seasons, the team's collapse in September and their decision to pursue a new hitting coach indicate a shift in strategy.
