Angels reportedly fire pitching coach Mike Maddux, two others on his staff a few months after joining team
Mike Maddux has experienced a lot of success as a pitching coach over his career. But even his advice couldn’t save the Los Angeles Angels.
Maddux — as well as assistant pitching coach Darryl Scott and bullpen coach Dom Chiti — was reportedly fired by the Angels on Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
The Los Angeles Angels fired pitched coach Mike Maddux, assistant pitching coach Darryl Scott and bullpen coach Dom Chiti, sources tell ESPN. Maddux joined them in the offseason and was working on a one-year contract. Angels pitchers have a 4.53 ERA and the most walks in MLB.

Maddux, who took a one-year deal with the team in the offseason, was just a few months into that contract before being let go.
The Angels are mired in yet another miserable season. With the team sitting at 45-74 entering play Tuesday, the front office apparently decided Maddux’s approach wasn’t working and that he didn’t need to stick around for the rest of his deal.
Entering play Tuesday, Angels pitching ranks 24th in MLB with a 4.53 ERA.
