Los Angeles Angels fire three pitching coaches
The Los Angeles Angels have fired three members of their pitching coaching staff: pitching coach Mike Maddux, bullpen coach Dom Chiti, and assistant pitching coach Darryl Scott. The decision was announced by interim general manager John Mozeliak following discussions with manager Kurt Suzuki.
Mozeliak indicated that the move aims to evaluate necessary steps to elevate the pitching program for future success. Reports suggest the dismissal was partly due to the coaching staff not sufficiently utilizing available technology and analytics.
With the team holding the worst record in Major League Baseball at 45-74, the Angels have appointed Tim Leveque as interim pitching coach and Michael Wuertz as interim bullpen coach for the remainder of the season.
