Pitching coach Matt Blake, who is largely credited for the Yankees’ excellent performance on the mound this season, is also set to hit the open market.
And after the eye-opening midseason departure of Twins pitching coach Wes Johnson to take the same job at LSU for a reported raise of about $400,000 to a deal worth around $750,000 per year, with bonuses, it appears successful pitching coaches are in higher demand than ever before.
. “You see the market moving. When I came over to Cleveland and got promotions and raises because the industry kept wanting my skill-set. It’s the same thing here now.” Blake said he’s not looking to move on. “He’s compensated fairly for what the industry currently thinks,’’ Blake said. “There’s a huge market for developing pitching and he’s gonna raise the tide for a lot of people. It’s hard to say that he’s not worth, call it $1 million, if you’re turning minor league free agents into good pitchers. It’s something you’ve seen trending in this direction and now it’s just a matter of who’s willing to play the arms race?” The Yankees entered Friday an MLB-best 2.
Blake is in his third year as Yankees pitching coach after coming over from Cleveland, where he was the minor league pitching director.
