The Atlanta Braves fired hitting coach Kevin Seitzer, assistant hitting coach Bobby Magallanes and catching coach Sal Fasano, multiple reports said Thursday.

The rest of the Braves’ coaching staff will be left intact, and the club will replace both hitting coaches but not carry a catching coach going forward, according to the reports.

The Braves went 89-73 and qualified for the National League playoffs on the final day of the season — splitting a doubleheader against the visiting New York Mets on the Monday after the scheduled end of the regular season. The games were postponed due to the effects of Hurricane Helene in late September.

Atlanta made its seventh straight playoff appearance, but it was over quickly as the San Diego Padres swept the Braves 2-0 in the wild-card round.

The Braves were a year removed from having the best-performing offense in the major leagues in 2023. In 2024 — while playing without reigning NL MVP Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee surgery) for most of the year — the Braves ranked 15th in the majors in batting average (.243) and in runs (704).

Seitzer, 62, had spent the past 10 seasons with the Braves after previous coaching stops with the Arizona Diamondbacks (2007), Kansas City Royals (2009-12) and Toronto Blue Jays (2014). He was a two-time All-Star during his MLB playing career (1986-97).
