Angels to hire Steve Karsay as bullpen coach

Former major league pitcher Steve Karsay, who spent three years as the Milwaukee Brewers’ bullpen coach, has reportedly been hired to the same position with the Angels.

The Angels have not confirmed the hiring, which was first reported by The Athletic and MLB.com.

Karsay previously had been a coach in the Cleveland organization. He pitched parts of 11 years in the majors, up through 2006.

Karsay would join pitching coach Barry Enright in leading the Angels’ pitching staff.

He would be the eighth coach to be confirmed as a part of new manager Ron Washington’s staff, joining third base coach Eric Young Sr., first base coach Bo Porter, hitting coach Johnny Washington, offensive coordinator Tim Laker, infield coach Ryan Goins, catching coach Jerry Narron and Enright.

The Angels still don’t have a bench coach, although former manager Clint Hurdle has been reported to be a candidate.
