Former catcher Bengie Molina is the new first base coach and major league
catching instructor for the Texas Rangers, completing the club's coaching
staff for the 2014 season.
Molina joins Bobby Jones, who was promoted from Triple-A Round Rock to be the
Rangers' assistant hitting coach.
Molina, 39, spent last season as the assistant hitting coach for the St.
Louis Cardinals, his first stint as a coach since ending his 13-year major
league career with the Rangers in 2010.
Molina, acquired on July 1 of that season, helped lead the Rangers to the
World Series for the first time in franchise history. He batted .293 with two
homers and eight RBIs in that postseason run.
Perhaps Molina's most memorable moment as a Ranger was hitting for the cycle
at Boston's Fenway Park on July 16, 2010, chugging to third for a triple to
complete that cycle. He also had a grand slam in that game.
Molina was a career .274 hitter with the Angels, Blue Jays, Giants and
Rangers and won two Gold Gloves. He was the starting catcher for the Angels'
2002 World Series run.
摸大哥加入條子當一壘教練,大哥曾經在2010年加入條子,並在那年打出完全打擊!
