I’m sure Bolt will shed more light on it on Thursday, and I certainly don’t want to speculate, but there’s about zero mention of pitching in his bio. Catchers, scouting reports, and coaching first were his main duties. I’m sure he’s picked up things from Childress since he was with the catchers while RC was working pitching stuff, but this is an intriguing hire.
Bolt wouldn’t put himself in a tough spot there. I assume he has a ton of confidence in Christy to get it done. Just interesting to me that Christy was who he wanted as pitching coach with all the people out there.
