Keith Beauregard will be the Minnesota Twins' new hitting coach, replacing Matt Borgschulte, with assistants Rayden Sierra and Trevor Amicone expected to return. Beauregard spent 2023-25 as a Tigers hitting coach after serving as a collegiate hitting coach and a minor-league hitting instructor in the Dodgers organization; his stint on A.J. Hinch's staff was his first big-league job. Detroit hit .247/.316/.413 in 2025, ranked mid-pack in slash stats, finished 10th with 198 homers, and had a 25.1% strikeout rate, prompting emphasis on putting more balls in play. Borgschulte is out after one season amid Minnesota's managerial change; Minnesota batted .238/.310/.397 and ranked 23rd in scoring.
"Beauregard makes the jump to the Twin Cities after three seasons with a division rival. He'd been a hitting coach with the Tigers between 2023-25. The 42-year-old had previously been a collegiate hitting coach and a minor league hitting instructor in the Dodgers organization. His stint on A.J. Hinch's staff was his first in the big leagues. Beauregard worked as a co-hitting instructor with Michael Brdar, who'll remain in that role for a fourth season in Detroit."
"The Tigers hit .247/.316/.413 this past season. They ranked in the middle third of MLB in all three slash stats and finished 10th with 198 home runs. They were 11th in scoring. A few of their hitters (e.g. Riley Greene, Gleyber Torres, Javier Báez, Zach McKinstry) got out to excellent starts but collapsed in the second half. Detroit had the sport's third-highest strikeout rate (25.1%) and is expected to emphasize putting more balls in play next season."
