Yankees reportedly fire pitching coach Larry Rothschild
Kim Klement-USA TODAY SportsWell, that was fast. Mere moments after rumors began to swirl regarding Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild’s job stability, Joel Sherman reported that the Yankees will dismiss him. Rothschild had held the pitching coach position from 2011 up through last season.
This puts an end to a long tenure that yielded mixed results. The Yankees’ staffs under Rothschild generally put up good numbers, but then again, the Yankees have generally had plenty of talent over the past decade. The question, of course, has always been about whether Rothschild and Co. were doing enough to maximize that talent on the pitching end.
