Bove takes over for Ethan Katz, who didn\u2019t have his contract renewed by the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Bove spent the past three seasons as an assistant pitching coach with the Royals. Before joining the Royals, Bove spent the 2019-22 seasons with the Twins as a minor league assistant pitching coordinator, special projects coordinator and pitching coach in the Gulf Coast League.<\/p>\n<p>The Royals finished sixth in the majors in staff ERA (3.73). Bove has his work cut out for him with the Sox\u2019 pitching staff. The Sox finished 20th in ERA (4.28), 24th in strikeout rate (21%) and 29th in walk rate allowed (9.7%).<\/p>\n<p>General manager Chris Getz has said that defense and pitching are core tenets of his vision for the organization going forward, so getting the pitching coach hire correct for manager Will Venable\u2019s staff was very important this offseason.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Kyle Williams<\/h4>\n<p>Chicago Sun-TimesSports reporter, Report for America<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bove spent the last three seasons as an assistant pitching coach with the Royals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":116734,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-116733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udd25 BREAKING: White Sox hire Zach\u202fBove as new pitching coach ahead of 2026 season \u2014 a bold hire that could reshape Chicago\u2019s rebuild!
