ATLANTA — Days after they finished the season with an 89-75 record and an early exit from the playoffs, the Atlanta Braves are making changes to the coaching staff.
The team confirmed to Channel 2′s Alison Mastrangelo reports that they have fired hitting coach Kevin Seitzer, assistant hitting coach Bobby Magallanes and catching coach Sal Fasano.

Two hitting coaches will be hired to replace both Seitzer and Magallanes, while Fasano’s role will remain vacant.
