"I can imagine how that might be a little bit unusual," Kapler said of having a pitching coach align outfielders. "We started with a skills matrix. What are the responsibilities that need to be covered in a major-league dugout? There's a big list of them. Then, who is best at tackling this responsibility. We got to the positioning of outfielders and he was the logical fit for us – partially because of his advance-scouting background, partially because he's really good at digging into data, and he's a big target. It doesn't have to be an outfield guy to position outfielders. It doesn't take the outfield experience to say, 'Oh, you should be standing on the X.' We're thinking about that a bit unconventionally."
