Dave Bush is the new pitching coach for the Boston Red Sox.
Chris Cotillo of MassLive noted the American League East team confirmed as much after Alex Speier of the Boston Globe previously deemed him the "clear front-runner" for the position.
The pitching coach role was vacant because the Red Sox reassigned Dana LeVangie to a pro scouting position.
The 39-year-old pitched nine seasons in the major leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays, Milwaukee Brewers and Texas Rangers and finished with a 4.73 ERA in his career, which ended in 2012.
