Pitching Coach Brent Strom Won't Return To Diamondbacks
1 month agoArizona Diamondbacks pitching coach Brent Strom, assistant pitching coach Dan Carlson and bullpen coach Mike Fetters will all not be returning to the team for the 2025 season in their current roles. The moves come after the D-backs ranked 27th in the big leagues in 2024 with a 4.64 ERA, mainly due to injuries to their starting rotation throughout the season. Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly, Ryne Nelson, Eduardo Rodriguez and Jordan Montgomery all missed time due to injuries this year. Strom was hired by Arizona before the 2022 season after being with the Houston Astros from 2014-21. Carlson had been with the Snakes for 23 seasons. Fetters pitched for Arizona in 2002 and 2004 and was the team's quality-control coach from 2013-16 before being promoted to bullpen coach in 2017.
