Chris Holt rose to prominence in the Orioles organization working as the minor league pitching coordinator and later the director of pitching. But he made it clear Wednesday upon his announcement as major league pitching coach that his priority was going to be the daily work with the big league staff, even though he’d continue in his oversight role with the minors.
“My primary job is the major league pitching staff,” Holt said. “The goal of remaining director of pitching is to have a top-down approach and make sure there’s continuity from the minor league system. We have a great minor league staff and outreach to every coach on the minor league side.
