After running into some roadblocks with other candidates, the Diamondbacks have settled upon Matt Herges as their next pitching coach, per Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.
Herges will join the staff of skipper Torey Lovullo after a pair of seasons as the Giants’ bullpen coach. The former MLB hurler replaces Mike Butcher in guiding the Arizona pitching staff.
That’s a big loss for the Giants, he did a great job while Curt Young was out with knee surgery. Pitchers loved him. Wish him well with the Dbacks.
