[edit] Biographical Information
Sean Berry was drafted by the Kansas City Royals but truly got his first chance as a regular with the Montreal Expos after being traded for Chris Haney. He was the starting third baseman on the great 1994 Expos team that had the best record in baseball before the 1994 strike.
Berry was a coach for the Round Rock Express in 2003 and 2004. He was the minor league hitting coordinator for the Houston Astros in 2005-2006.
In July 2006, Berry was named interim hitting coach of the Houston Astros. After the season, he was given the job on a permanent basis. He kept the job until the All-Star break in 2010, when he was replaced by long-time Astros hitting star and former teammate Jeff Bagwell; Houston had some of the worst hitting statistics in the majors at the time.
In 2011, Berry became the minor league hitting coordinator for the San Diego Padres, a position he retained in 2012.
