Collaborating with our hitters to unlock their maximum potential.
In a move aimed at boosting the team’s
offense, the Baltimore Orioles have
named Cody Asche as their new hitting
coach for the 2025 season. Asche, a
former player and offensive strategy
coach for the Orioles, brings a wealth of
knowledge and experience to the role,
and is widely regarded as one of the top
young hitting coaches in the game.
Asche’s promotion is a testament to his
hard work and dedication to the Orioles’
organization. The 34-year-old former
infielder played for the Orioles in 2017,
and has been working as the team’s
offensive strategy coach since 2020.
During his time in the role, Asche has
worked closely with the team’s hitters,
helping them to develop and refine their
skills at the plate.
As hitting coach, Asche will be
responsible for overseeing the Orioles’
offense and working with the team’s
hitters to help them improve their
performance at the plate. He will also
work closely with the team’s manager
and coaching staff to develop game plans
and strategies for opposing pitchers.
The Orioles’ offense has been a major
area of focus for the team this offseason,
and Asche’s appointment is seen as a key
move in addressing the team’s hitting
woes. Last season, the Orioles ranked
near the bottom of the American League
in several key offensive categories,
including batting average, on-base
percentage, and slugging percentage.
Asche’s experience as a player and coach
has given him a unique perspective on
the game, and he is widely respected for
his ability to connect with players and
help them to improve their skills. His
appointment as hitting coach is seen as a
major coup for the Orioles, and is
expected to have a significant impact on
the team’s offense in 2025.
“I’m thrilled to have Cody on board as
our hitting coach,” said Orioles manager
Brandon Hyde. “He’s a talented coach
with a deep understanding of the game,
and I’m confident that he’ll make a big
impact on our offense.”
Asche is equally excited about the
opportunity to lead the Orioles’ offense.
“I’m honored to be named hitting coach
for the Orioles,” he said. “I’m looking
forward to working with our hitters and
helping them to reach their full
potential.”
