(670 The Score) Cubs hitting coach Anthony Iapoce isn't expected to return to his position in 2022.
Iapoce and the team are set to part ways, according to multiple reports Tuesday. Iapoce served as the Cubs' hitting coach for the past three seasons after leaving the same position in the Rangers organization to join them.
The Cubs endured a season of change in 2021, trading their core stars and other veterans before the deadline in late July. They finished 71-91, their first losing season since 2014.
The Cubs were 11th in the National League in runs in 2021 and 10th in OPS.
When the Cubs hire a new hitting coach, it will mark the seventh person in that position in an 11-year stretch.
