Chris Young will serve on David Ross’ staff as the new bullpen coach of the Chicago Cubs, according to multiple reports. It’s a different Chris Young than the really tall guy who pitched in the Majors and won a World Series with the Royals.
Young served as the pitching coach for the Phillies last season and even though that didn’t go as planned, he is still a highly respected guy throughout baseball. Before getting his on-field uniform job last year, he was a pro scout for the Astros and Padres.
He was the scouting supervisor for the Astros in 2017, and just a scout from 2015-16.
