After the departure of their pitching coach, the San Francisco Giants have announced who will take over that role.
Additional moves are expected to be made to reshape things under Posey, but the first domino that fell was actually on the staff of manager Bob Melvin when
This likely wasn't too much of a shock for Melvin and the Giants since the skipper convinced his longtime friend to come out of retirement and join him in San Francisco.In an announcement made by the franchise, the Giants decided to promote J.P. Martinez after he had been the assistant pitching coach for the past four seasons.
In his four seasons as a part of SF’s pitching group, Giants pitchers have the fourth-lowest ERA in the National League at 3.80.The hope is this promotion will keep some continuity among the Giants' pitching staff, especially with multiple young players in the mix going forward who are expected to be major parts of the rotation.
Martinez is viewed as someone who is adept with the modern game of baseball, understanding how to teach spin rate, pitch shapes and all the other things that have evolved when it comes to coaching pitchers at a high level. How he performs in his new role will be seen, but San Francisco is clearly confident enough to promote him to take over as their pitching coach.Brad Wakai graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Journalism.
