Realistic Candidates for HC

[KB21]

In today's game it would be a GM that would focus on player acquisition and retention. High school and portal and JUCO. Someone or someone's that are evaluating other players to potentially acquire later. Probably someone with some scouting connections.

But also player development. Some schools have a pitching specialist and a hitting specialist. They aren't on the field staff but basically would do things in the pitching lab to try to help maximize results. As I have said we need to update our tech on the hitting side a bit I have heard so basically like a hitting lab as well.

May have a catching analyst depending on staff make up to assist with catchers and maybe one for baserunning. There are a lot of ways we can go with this.

Basically the off the field analyst staff would work with the on field staff and the on the field staff would implement instruction based on the findings from the labs/tech.

We need multiple additions to the player development staff, IMO. We have Bobby Austin over player development, and while he probably has a couple of volunteer assistants, that's not enough. We need someone who is tech savvy that runs player development and someone who understands how to utilize biomechanics, player tracking data, pitch data, and swing data to help aid the director of player development. We also need someone separate from player development who does nothing but look at analytics and trends to help with our own in game strategy as well as advanced scouting opponents.
