After serving as the Atlanta Braves’ pitching coach for the past 11 years, incoming Orioles pitching coach Roger McDowell will have to learn about the inner workings of a new organization and its pitchers once spring training begins.
McDowell received an introduction at last month’s pitchers minicamp in Sarasota, Fla., working with the major league and player development staffs for the first time while familiarizing himself with the ins and outs of the team’s spring training facility.
But the real crash course begins next Monday, when pitchers and catchers report for spring training.
