Yankees’ search for new pitching coach taking shape

The Yankees’ effort to take their pitching further into the analytics age may include them dipping into the college coaching circle.

After firing longtime pitching coach Larry Rothschild Monday, the Yankees interviewed Michigan pitching coach Chris Fetter on Tuesday, as first reported by ESPN and interviewed Arkansas pitching coach Matt Hobbs on Wednesday, according to D1Baseball.com.

Fetter, 33, has been a minor league coach with the Padres and a scout for the Angels. He also spent a season as the minor league pitching coordinator for the Dodgers before joining the Michigan staff two years ago.
