The pitching coaches are an interesting question. With the Giants, Tyler Mahle was 3-9 with a 5.13 ERA in 18 starts in what must be the most pitcher-friendly ballpark in baseball. When he was offloaded to the Braves, Mahle was 4-1 with a 1.99 ERA, and allowed two runs in 13 1/3rd innings in the postseason.
The other three major losses (Robbie Ray, Erik Miller, Caleb Killian) did measurably worse with their new teams. Still, the Giants' team pitching finished 23rd in runs allowed and ERA of the 30 MLB teams. In that ballpark, they should have done better.
All 2027 pitching coaching changes have been completed. Here you go…
Justin Meccage will return as the primary pitching coach
Frank Anderson will switch from Director of Major League Pitching to assistant pitching coach
Christian Wonders will move from assistant pitching coach to a role in player development/farm system
Ron Wotus was the interim 3B coach. He will most likely return to a non-uniform role in the organization
Otherwise, status quo.
