“The most significant holdover is hitting coach Tim Hyers, who joined the Braves on a two-year contract before the 2025 season and shepherded a group that scored the eighth-most runs in MLB in 2026. Hyers, who was formerly on the Texas Rangers’ coaching staff that won the 2023 World Series, will continue working alongside assistant hitting coach Darnell Coles.” Cano went on to report that bench coach Tony Mansolino will remain in place, along with first and third base coaches Antoan Richardson and Tommy Watkins.

Additionally, pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, bullpen coach J.P. Martinez, and catching coach Dustin Garneau are all coming back.
