Angels Name Barry Enright Pitching Coac

The Angels announced Tuesday that theyve hired as their new pitching coach. The former big league righty has spent the past two seasons on the D-backs staff, working as an a sistant pitching coach under Brent Strom. Enright, 37, pitched in the Majors from 2010-13, splitting his time between the two teams for which hes now coached Michael Dipietro Jersey . Arizona selected him in the second round of the 2007 draft and gave him his MLB debut in 2010. He spent two seasons there and also had briefer stints with the 2012-13 Halos. As Bill Shaikin of the L.A. Times , Enrights final year with the Halos overlapped with s rookie year in Anaheim. Overall, Enright pitched 148 2/3 innings in the Majors. While his career on the mound didnt yield the best results, weve seen time and time again that a succe sful big league playing career is in no way a prerequisite for a succe sful run as a coach or manager. His time with the D-backs surely proved quite instructive, as Strom is regarded as one of the industrys top pitching minds. Enright joins a revamped Halos coaching staff under incoming manager . Since the end of the season, the Angels have moved on from hitting coach , pitching coach Matt Wise and catching coordinator . In their places, the Angels have hired Johnny Washington as hitting coach, Jerry Narron as catching coach and now Enright as pitching coach. The Angels have also added former big league infielder as an infield coach and veteran coach/manager Bo Porter to be Washingtons first base coach. Craig Janney Jersey
