PITTSBURGH – The Reds are making major changes to their player development system, parting ways with several minor league coaches and coordinators throughout the organization.

Among the coaches who will not return next year are outfield/baserunning coordinator Billy Hatcher, Triple-A manager Jody Davis, Triple-A pitching coach Jeff Fassero, Double-A pitching coach Danny Darwin and hitting coordinator Milt Thompson, according to sources.

“We made some changes to department heads last year,” Reds general manager Nick Krall said.
