Maybe the Rockies have been busier in the off season than we thought.
At the end of the 2019 season, the Rockies promoted Steve Merriman, a well-traveled baseball coach and the 2019 Hartford Yard Goats pitching coach. He now has Darryl Scott’s old job as Minor League pitching co-coordinator. Initially, this seemed more like moving around deck chairs on the Titanic, but Thomas Harding has reported that Merriman brings with him significant upgrades to the Rockies’ pitching technology lab at Salt River Fields.
Merriman has worked in many places, spending his career moving between college (University of Michigan, University of Toledo, Macomb Community College) and Major League Baseball (Detroit Tigers, New York Mets, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Chicago Cubs).
