Brian Cashman had this say about Larry Rothchild.
“I want to personally thank Larry for his near decade of commitment to this organization,” said Cashman. “Larry cares deeply about his craft and the pitchers under his tutelage, and he played a significant role in our successes over the past nine seasons. There’s a reason why Larry has had the type of distinguished baseball career he’s had, and it starts with experience and dedication that is difficult to emulate.” “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/yankees-dismiss-pitching-coach-larry-rothschild
With Larry Rothchild’s tenure as the Yankees pitching coach coming to an end after nine seasons where will he land next? One possibility is 104 miles from New York where Joe Girardi who is a former Yankee manager just got hired by Philadelphia to be their new manager.
And who will be the Yankees pitching coach in 2020?
That question is yet to be answered but will be answered soon enough.
