Diamondbacks Overhaul Pitching Staff After Missing Playoffs

Arizona parts ways with veteran pitching coach Brent Strom and two assistants following a disappointing season on the mound.

Brent Strom, Arizona's pitching coach, along with assistant Dan Carlson and bullpen coach Fetters, will not return in their roles for the 2025 season.
The Diamondbacks finished the season with a 4.62 ERA, ranking 27th in MLB, contributing to their failure to secure a playoff spot.
Despite scoring the most runs in MLB, Arizona's pitching staff allowed 788 runs, the fifth-worst in the league.
High-profile pitchers like Jordan Montgomery and Eduardo Rodriguez underperformed, struggling with injuries and poor performance.
Strom, known for his successful tenure with the Astros, acknowledged challenges in his role and expressed uncertainty about his future in coaching.
