The Atlanta Braves are looking for a new pitching coach to replace Chuck Hernandez after announcing his departure last week. While some talk has come out that the team may be looking outside of the organization for a replacement, the team should strongly consider looking in-house.
For many, that would mean Dennis Lewallyn, the pitching guru who just completed his 36th season as a coach in professional baseball. He’s been bouncing between Florida and Mississippi in the Braves system the past two years, and he was viewed as a big reason for the success of Luiz Gohara in 2017.
