Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said Thursday he hopes the team’s search for a pitching coach to replace Dave Wallace on the major league coaching staff will end soon.
“We’re still working on the pitching coach, and trying to get something resolved this week,” Duquette said. “So we had some good candidates [interviewed], and we’ve had some productive talks after we interviewed the candidates.”
The team has interviewed former Atlanta Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell and Double-A Bowie pitching coach Alan Mills, among others.
The Orioles have been without a pitching coach since just after the season ended, when Wallace retired from active major league coaching shortly after the club bowed out of the playoffs.
