Gary Denbo

New York Yankees
Batting Coach

Gary Denbo is in his 12th season in the New York Yankees organization and his first season as the New York Yankees Major League Batting Coach. Gary spent four previous seasons as the organization's hitting coordinator.

 


Gary Denbo has played a major role in developing the talents of New York Yankee players into Major League caliber hitters.

Thought by many in professional baseball to be one of the top young hitting instructors in the game, Gary has been instrumental in developing hitters such as Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Bernie Williams, Tino Martinez, Ricky Ledee, Alfonso Soriano, and many other successful major leaguers. Described by Yankees skipper Joe Torre as a "workaholic", Torre says, "Gary has brought a fresh voice, a new approach and a tireless nature and openness to incorporating new technologies".

Players swear by Gary's communication and teaching and toiling skills, and believe slumps will be more short-lived because of his ability to spot and correct flaws quickly. Gary, considered a 'new age hitting instructor', has developed a method of combining video and computer analysis of the baseball swing. He uses a library built with the swings of top hitters in the game to serve as a teaching source in developing proper swing technique.

Gary's alert manner and quick eye in seeing faults, along with his ability to relate to young hitters and to communicate those flaws clearly and concisely, have made him one of the top hitting instructors in the game.

Gary is now in his 19th year in professional baseball. Following a four-year playing career, he became a coach in the Cincinnati Reds organization before joining the Yankees as a minor league manager in 1990. A true winner with proven results, Gary has taught all levels of hitters from high school age rookies to the current World Champion New York Yankees. Gary has been a part of Championships at every level of Yankee baseball.
