"The Rockies announced the hiring of former MLB first baseman Brett Pill as their hitting coach. The 41-year-old joins Warren Schaeffer's staff after six seasons with the Dodgers. Pill had spent three years as a Double-A hitting coach in the L.A. system before getting a promotion to minor league hitting coordinator in 2023. Pill is best known for his three-year stint playing in MLB for the Giants. He appeared in 111 games between 2011-13."
"Pill spent parts of four seasons in Triple-A and finished his playing career with a three-year stint for the Kia Tigers between 2014-16. He remained in Korea for three years after that, working for his former KBO team as a scout before taking the Dodgers job. This is Pill's first major league coaching role. He'll hopefully provide some stability in a position that was in flux in 2025. Colorado opened the season with Hensley Meulens as hitting coach."
Brett Pill, 41, has been hired as the Colorado Rockies' major-league hitting coach and will join Warren Schaeffer's staff after six seasons with the Dodgers organization. Pill spent three years as a Double-A hitting coach in the L.A. system and was promoted to minor-league hitting coordinator in 2023. Pill played 111 MLB games for the Giants from 2011–13, spent parts of four Triple-A seasons, and finished his playing career with the Kia Tigers in Korea from 2014–16. He scouted in Korea for three years before joining the Dodgers. The Rockies endured a 43–119 season, had the MLB-worst on-base percentage and frequent personnel changes at hitting coach in 2025, and will look for process improvements from young hitters such as Ezequiel Tovar, Jordan Beck and Brenton Doyle.
