I think the expectation for most pitching coaches these days is to take the data provided by the analytics department and synthesis down into an effect game plan/pitching strategy for the entire staff. That is where I wonder how well Maddux does. Hudson is the guy that keeps sticking out in my mind. He never improved this year. His control was all over the place and he never seemed to have much of a plan out there. Maybe that falls on him for not buying in, but it’s hard to observe that while also seeing the ongoing struggles of other young pitchers trying to get established (Thompson, Liberatore, Oviedo). Even looking back a couple season, Gant and Ponce de Leon always seemed to be running into the same mistakes. Again, I understand that can fall on the pitchers and the front office for not finding more talent, but 2022 was the second straight season Mo had to go acquire two veteran pitchers at the deadline to have any hope of cobbling together a competitive staff. That has to be fixed. Either the front office needs to improve their roster building or they need a pitching coach that can do better with what is given.
