Ken Rosenthal just dropped this bombshell. Pitching guru Derek Johnson is leaving the Milwaukee Brewers to be the pitching coach for the Cincinnati Reds.
How big of a loss is this?
Huge. Derek Johnson was known as one of the best pitching coaches in baseball and he reformed several Brewers pitchers such as Jimmy Nelson, Chase Anderson, Jhoulys Chacin, and Wade Miley.
