Giants coach Gary Pettis ready to bring ‘aggressive’ mindset to uneven offense

Article excerpt

Gary Pettis, the newly hired Giants offensive coach, is bringing an aggressive approach to a team that struggled with inconsistent hitting last season. The 68-year-old baseball veteran, dressed in a Golden Gate Bridge-colored sweatsuit, made the rounds at the team's spring training facility in Milwaukee, reconnecting with players and staff. Pettis spent decades in professional baseball, as a player, scout, and coach, and views the Giants' uneven offensive performance as an opportunity to implement a more attack-minded strategy that could unlock the team's potential.
