Chris Holt was a sage to the Orioles' minor-league pitchers during the 2019 season. Now, the franchise hopes some of that wisdom can translate to the major-league staff.
Holt, who was recently promoted to the Orioles' director of pitching, will continue his work on the minor-league side, but also collaborate with big-league pitching coach Doug Brocail to make improvements with the big-league club.
"The major component of this is that I am still the minor-league pitching coordinator," Holt said. "I also have the flexibility to spend some time with the big-league club, working side-by side with Brocail and kind of bridging the gap with the new players that are either going up or down or arriving this year. I am still largely the minor-league pitching coordinator, but with the flexibility to have some continuity from the farm up to the big leagues."
