Braves shoot at coach, others after NL wild-card sweep

ATLANTA – The Atlanta Braves are making changes to coach Brian Snitker’s coaching staff following the team’s quick exit from the National League Wild Card Series, informing hitting coach Kevin Seitzer and two other coaches that they will not be returning.

Assistant hitting coach Bobby Magallanes and catching coach Sal Fasano also will not return for the 2025 season.

The moves come after the Braves’ injury-riddled season ended when they were defeated in two games by the San Diego Padres.

Seitzer worked as a hitting coach for 10 years.

The Braves won the 2021 World Series and six consecutive NL East titles before finishing second in the division this season.
