MLB Rumors: Kyle Boddy, founder of Driveline Baseball, and the Cincinnati Reds are parting ways, per a press release issued by Boddy today.
Boddy was hired in October, 2019, as the Director of Pitching Initiatives by the Cincinnati Reds after establishing Driveline as a go-to destination for pitchers. Boddy’s work with biomechanics and cutting edge analytic systems got results from a number of pitchers who were able to add velocity and improve their stuff as a result of working with Driveline.
The Texas Rangers had a consulting arrangement with Boddy prior to him joining the Reds, and when the Rangers cut Shiraz Rehman loose last month, Levi Weaver mentioned that the Rangers had met with Boddy about a potential position within the Rangers’ organization.
