Director of Pitching
Whether Larry Rothschild was a successful pitching coach or not, the Yankees were probably going to move on from him regardless. (Read Frankie Marco’s article on Rothschild’s success HERE.) The writing may have been on the wall when they hired Sam Briend from Driveline baseball as their Director of Pitching last summer.
The Yankees spend a lot on player development and, while I’m sure they’ve always paid attention to detail in the past, the Briend hire certainly signifies that detail will now be a premium asset in the Bronx.
