Angels Hire Shawn Wooten As Assistant Hitting Coach

By Connor Byrne | November 25, 2018 at 12:24pm CDT

The Angels have promoted Shawn Wooten to assistant hitting coach, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports. Wooten, who served as the Angels’ minor league assistant hitting coordinator last season, will work under hitting coach Jeremy Reed in Anaheim.

The 46-year-old Wooten is a longtime member of the Angels organization, having spent the majority of his major league career on their roster before entering the coaching ranks. The former catcher and corner infielder was in Anaheim from 2000-03, during which he was part of the franchise’s only World Series-winning team (2002), before playing parts of the next two seasons with the Phillies and Red Sox. His career wrapped up in 2008 after a combined three years in the minors with the Twins, Mets and Padres.

Wooten’s hiring is the third that new manager Brad Ausmus has made since assuming the reins in October. The club previously added Reed and tabbed Doug White as its pitching coach.

      It’s a little early in the off-season to be dumping on the team, isn’t it?

      Wooten and Reed were actually the ones who turned Calhouns season around. I’m excited about both.

    Believe it or not, he was a career .272 hitter. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. Hopefully he works out.

    Not bad. He was one of three hitting coaches with the Dodgers in 2017 and helped correct their swings. Welcome to the Angels.

    Like anyone here knows his coaching ability enough to know if this is a good hire or not. Clearly if they are truly going to more stats based – they must feel his teaching aligns with that.
