The Royals have hired Mike McFerran as an assistant pitching coach, the club announced. The 32-year-old comes over from the Athletics organization, where he\u2019d spent the past two seasons working with minor league pitchers.<\/p>\n

McFerran has never previously worked on an MLB staff. His two-year stint with the A\u2019s was his first in a professional organization. McFerran had previously worked in the college ranks. He was at Division III Skidmore College between 2017-20 before spending three years at Wake Forest, where he oversaw their pitching lab. Nine Wake Forest pitchers were drafted over that stretch. Ryan Cusick<\/a><\/strong> (2021) and Rhett Lowder<\/a><\/strong> (2023) were first-rounders in their respective draft years, while Sean Sullivan<\/strong><\/a> went at the top of the second round in 2023.<\/p>\n

Brian Sweeney is headed into his fourth season as Kansas City\u2019s lead pitching coach. They needed a new assistant after Zach Bove stepped down to take the top pitching coach job<\/a> with the White Sox. McFerran joins Sweeney and bullpen coach Mitch Stetter on the pitching side for fourth-year manager Matt Quatraro.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
