The Cincinnati Reds have hired Joe Torres as their new pitching coach, bringing him over from the Cleveland Guardians organization. The move was reported Thursday by Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Torres joins the Reds' coaching staff after serving in Cleveland's system, where he was part of a pitching development program that has consistently produced effective arms. The Guardians have been widely recognized for their ability to develop and maximize pitching talent in recent years.
The hiring signals Cincinnati's intent to strengthen its pitching infrastructure under the guidance of a coach with experience in Cleveland's well-regarded development model. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
