Tampa Bay Rays' Success is All Due to Pitching Coach Jim Hickey

The Tampa Bay Rays are about as famous for their personnel turnover as they are their pitching and defense. They are a small market team and don't have the financial resources of division rivals New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox to lavish on their players. They have even been known to lose managers due to financial considerations. Yet they compete, thanks in no small part to one of their longest tenured employees, pitching coach Jim Hickey. His ability to get the most out of pitchers and get them to buy what he's doing is perhaps unrivalled in baseball today.
