Cubs Hiring Pitching Trainer Tyler Zombro as Special Assistant
If you want to understand how the Cubs’ pivot toward emotionless analysis will help them improve at the margins, look no further than their latest front office hire. As first announced by Tread Athletics, the Cubs are naming former Tread pitching trainer Tyler Zombro as a special assistant tasked with improving the performance of their arms at all levels. Zombro spent time in the Rays and Rangers organizations and just officially retired as a player in August after battling nerve issues since taking a line drive to the head during a Triple-A game in June of 2021.
