Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long adjusts Kevin Youkilis’ stance
This is not exactly new, but I didn't want to ignore it all offseason since it has clearly become part of the narrative. Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long has been tinkering with Kevin Youkilis' swing before Spring Training even started. “We looked at old film and compared it to 2012,” Long told Dan Martin of the NY ...
Cashman and Girardi expected to be back along with coaching staff
It doesn't appear as if the Yankees will not be making any changes to their general manager, manager or the coaching staff even after a disappointing exit in the ALCS. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reported that both Brian Cashman and Joe Girardi will be back next season and in a separate Tweet Cashman told Heyman that the ...
Yankees dealing with confrontational umpires
These umpires are getting out of control. First, Russell Martin has to deal with Laz Diaz, who refused to let him throw new balls back to the mound because he hadn't earned the right. Now, Joe Girardi and hitting coach Kevin Long have a run in with Bob Davidson, who Girardi accused of goading them ...
Ibanez credits Kevin Long for recovery from bad spring
Spring training stats don't matter. Still, it didn't stop most Yankees fans for jumping all over Raul Ibanez when he was pitiful this spring. Now he's off to a solid start, nothing special, his average is still just .222, but he has been hitting the ball hard and is actually one of the more productive players ...
Yankees Derek Jeter to Work with Kevin Long Too
Yankees’ Kevin Long Hoping to Help Mark Teixeira Rebound
One of the biggest differences between the 2009 Yankees and 2010 Yankees was Mark Teixeira. In 2009 he showed up with a big salary and big expectations and fulfilled those by leading the league in home runs, RBI's, and total bases. In 2010 his batting average dropped to .256 and his slugging percentage dropped below ...
Yankees Re-sign Hitting Coach Kevin Long
Via George King of the NY Post: According to multiple sources, Kevin Long and the Yankees have agreed to a three-year deal that runs concurrent with the pact manager Joe Girardi recently signed. Long, the hitting coach whose three-year deal worth about $1.2 million expired yesterday, will receive a raise. Next season will be Long's sixth handling ...
Cashman & Girardi Talk Yankees Future
Here are some notes via Marc Carig of the Newark Star-Ledger from a conference call with Yankees general manager Brian Cashman and manager Joe Girardi this afternoon. Girardi never really thought about leaving the Yankees. He thinks that CC Sabathia's knee may have caused some mechanical issues. Girardi said he may tinker with the lineup next year. He ...

Cool Read: Kevin Long’s Home Run Drill
Brendan Prunty of The Newark Star-Ledger wrote a pretty cool piece today about a hitting drill that Kevin Long developed while he was hitting coach of the Wichita Wranglers. Brandon Berger was his first subject to be exposed to the drill and he went from 18 home runs in a season to 40. Today Robinson ...
