There is a reason why assistant pitching coach Connor McGuiness flew through the Dodgers farm system. Everywhere he goes, the pitching improves in one way or another. Take Low-A Rancho Cucamonga, lead the California League in strikeouts in 2018 and 2019 according to Dodgers Insider’s Rowan Kavner.
Now with the big league squad, McGuiness is a big part of what makes the Dodgers pitching staff so successful. But as it turns out, it’s not just the guys in the bullpen and starting rotation that McGuiness puts in work with.
Kavner spoke with Dodgers infielder Gavin Lux, who recently had to transition over to shortstop.
