The White Sox have a new hitting coach at Triple-A Charlotte, per a tweet from FanCred's Jon Heyman.
Menechino spent the past five seasons as an assistant hitting coach with the Miami Marlins, joining that organization in 2013, the year after Ozzie Guillen's lone season as the Marlins' skipper.
The White Sox used a 45th-round pick on Menechino back in 1993 — the same draft in which they selected Greg Norton and Mike Sirotka — and he later reached the majors, playing seven seasons with the Oakland Athletics and Toronto Blue Jays.
He played in 20 games against the White Sox as a big leaguer and posted an impressive .429 on-base percentage against them.
The White Sox fleet of highly touted prospects are starting to reach the upper levels of the farm system, and Menechino will soon have the opportunity to coach hitters like Luis Robert, Nick Madrigal, Blake Rutherford, Zack Collins, Luis Basabe, Micker Adolfo and Steele Walker.
Headlines like this one from 2017 should give White Sox fans some confidence in Menechino's abilities: "Frank Menechino behind Giancarlo Stanton's HR success." Oh?
