"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."
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.
