KNIGHTS KNOTES
The last two hitting coaches for the Knights are now in Chicago… Howie Clark was tabbed as hitting coach for the Charlotte Knights in 2020. Unfortunately, we never got to know Howie here in Charlotte as the 2020 season was canceled due to COVID-19. Instead, Clark spent 2020 at the team’s alternate training facility in Schaumburg… Frank Menechino returns as hitting coach with the White Sox for a second consecutive season. Menechino spent one season as the hitting coach for the Charlotte Knights in 2019… Joe McEwing managed the Knights in 2011… Curt Hasler was the pitching coach of the Knights from 2002–04.
