You don’t think a hitting coach has any bearing on how the hitters approach each pitcher given the situation?
yea, i dont think they tell them to pass on fastballs in order to hit curve balls. Sometime the other pitcher is good, ya know. They dont tell you whats coming

I’m going to agree with the general premise of the OP. A seasoned, proven hitting coach can see tendencies in a guys swing that are hurting or helping him and help him adjust or stay consistent. It’d be nice if we went out and got a highly experienced and proven hitting coach in the offseason (assuming our bats don’t come alive, as often happens). But I’m not going to sit here and pretend I know what kind of approach Ochinko and Mainieri preach each practice or game or at bat and what kind of “approach” they should preach instead. OP’s assesment that we shouldn’t chase curveballs out of the zone or pass up hittable fastballs is truly groundbreaking though.
