Ethan Katz was a pitching coach for Lucas Giolito in high school. The two reportedly will be reunited in the big leagues.
Katz is in line to be the next Chicago White Sox pitching coach, according to reports from Barstool’s Dave Williams and MLB Network’s Jon Heyman.
Katz, 37, was the pitching coach at Harvard-Westlake (Calif.) from Sept. 2009 to July 2013, where he worked with Giolito and Jack Flaherty of the St. Louis Cardinals and Max Fried of the Atlanta Braves.
He was a pitching coach in the Los Angeles Angels minor-league system from 2013-2015, and served as the pitching coach for the Arizona League Angels in 2013 and at Class A Burlington in the Midwest League from 2014-2015.
