Why aren’t catchers pitching coaches?

By Tangotiger, 01:25 PM

Catchers as pitching coaches:

“I’m not saying it doesn’t make sense,” Ausmus said. “But I would think there would be pitchers who would look at the pitching coach and think, ‘He’s never stood on the mound. He’s never toed the rubber.’ That said, if he’s a good pitching coach, it wouldn’t really matter if he’s toed the rubber or not.”

(Hat tip: Peter)
