Timothy James Hyers (born October 3, 1971 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American professional baseball hitting coach and a former Major League first baseman who played for the San Diego Padres (1994–95), Detroit Tigers (1996) and Florida Marlins (1999). During his active career, he threw and batted left-handed, stood 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) tall and weighed 185 pounds (84 kg).
Hyers attended Newton County High School in Georgia and was selected in the second round by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 1990 Major League Baseball Draft. During his ten-year (1990–99) minor league career in the Blue Jay, Padre, Arizona Diamondbacks and Marlin organizations, he batted .261 with 847 hits.
In the Majors, he batted .217 with two home runs at 17 runs batted in in 133 games played.
After retiring from the playing ranks, Hyers worked as a hitting coach in the Tigers' farm system, and also taught physical education at Victory Christian School in Conyers, Georgia. He then was an area scout for the Boston Red Sox in Georgia from 2009–12.[1] In 2013, Hyers was appointed the Red Sox' minor league hitting coordinator and served three seasons in that post.
Hyers returned to the Major Leagues when he was named assistant hitting coach of the Los Angeles Dodgers for 2016,[2] serving under new manager Dave Roberts.
