The Angels hired Doug White to be their new pitching coach after his success as the Astros bullpen coach.
Angels pitchers, meanwhile, were 19th in baseball with a 4.15 ERA last season. The 805? innings logged by Angels starters was second-fewest of the 30 teams. The Tampa Bay Rays, who often used relievers to start games, got the least production from their starters.
White will be counted on to help an Angels team that had so many injuries to its pitching staff it used a franchise-record 35 pitchers to get through last season. His resume boasts a specialization in Z-Health, which is a method of training that enhances an athlete’s movement patterns.
It seems to me the Angels are focusing correctly on lowering their injury rate. What is Z-Health? This seems to be an even-handed review, but other web sites seem rather infomercial to me.
