By: Jonathan Daniel/GettyKevin Seitzer played for the Royals from 1986-1991 and in total enjoyed 12 years in the major leagues. Now he is back with the Royals as their hitting coach. When Seitzer was asked what it means to him to be back with the Kansas City Royals he replied "For me it's a dream come true." Seitzer recalled hopeful plans once his playing career was finished after the 97 season. Once helping his boys into college he hoped to get back into major league baseball as a hitting coach and someday acquire the position with the Kansas City Royals. Seitzer's hopeful plans have become a reality.
Seitzer believes what has been missing from an offensive standpoint is a consistent approach at the plate. When talking about his philosophy at bat he said he wants "to instill in these guys a consistent approach instead of just steppin in the box and see ball, hit ball, swing at thrown ball..." The bottom line for Seitzer is "putting them in a position to put the fat part of the bat on the ball consistently, wherever it goes it goes."
Seitzer is excited to get started.
