Matt Hague Interview

On this episode of Bench Bantr, we're joined by Pittsburgh Pirates hitting coach Matt Hague for one of our favorite interviews yet.

We dive deep into the Pirates' hitting philosophy, breaking down the organization's hitting pillars, game preparation, player development, mental approach at the plate, and what it takes to succeed at the Major League level. Who better to explain the Pirates' offensive process than the head hitting coach himself?

If you've ever wondered how hitters prepare for games, make adjustments throughout a season, and build a consistent approach at the plate, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
