Royals pitchers should be rejoicing
New pitching coach Brian Sweeney during the Guardians’ 2022 Photo DayThe Royals have a new pitching coach! And while his name might be familiar to Royals fans, Brian Sweeney will have a very different role on the team than any of those Mike Sweeney has had.
This signing checks all the boxes for me. He brings an outside perspective that I think is especially valuable for a team that replaced its manager but otherwise retained a lot of the same people who have been with the club for years. He said all the right things about analytics and everyone who has spoken about him has praised his ability to learn and to communicate.
