Andy Martino of SNY reported that Yankees\u2019 assistant pitching coach Desi Druschel is taking the same role with the Mets, as he\u2019ll depart the Bronx and head to Queens. He joins Carlos Mendoza and Grayson Crawford, both of whom were hired out of the Yankees\u2019 organization after 2023, as prominent coaches that have crossed over from the Yankees to the Mets since David Stearns took over. Druschel was brought onto their Major League staff after the 2021 season but has been with the organization since 2019.<\/p>\n

Desi Druschel Departs From the Yankees, Becomes Mets Assistant Pitching Coach<\/h2>\n

Make no mistake about it, the Yankees lost one of the brightest minds in the organization, as Desi Druschel was highly regarded internally by many coaches former and present. His feel for data and ability to communicate complex concepts to players on the roster allows him to get plenty of buy-in, allowing him to help pitchers take massive leaps.<\/p>\n

The Yankees hired him after the 2019 season from the University of Iowa, and he\u2019s been on the Major League coaching staff for three seasons. He\u2019ll join the Mets as the assistant pitching coach, the same role he held with the Yankees, but there could be some more upward mobility there for him.<\/p>\n

Sam Briend and Matt Blake are the Director of Pitching and Head Pitching Coach, and unless either of them take jobs elsewhere, it\u2019s hard to imagine that changing in the near future. They have built up a new culture in the organization on the pitching side, as they\u2019re on the cutting edge of pitching analytics and development.<\/p>\n

For the Mets, it\u2019s another coach they\u2019ve poached from the Yankees\u2019 organization, as they\u2019re beginning to build up a forward-thinking operation. Grayson Crawford served as the pitching coach of the Somerset Patriots back in 2023, where his staff had by far the best ERA in Double-A (3.56) while striking out the third-most batters (1,397), as various top prospects such as Drew Thorpe, Chase Hampton, Will Warren, and Richard Fitts improved thanks to him.<\/p>\n

They most infamously hired Carlos Mendoza last winter as well, who in his first year as the manager of the Mets took them to the postseason and guided them to an NLCS berth. While they were vanquished by the Dodgers, it\u2019s hard to argue that 2024 was anything short of a roaring success for the Mets.<\/p>\n

Desi Druschel will be an immense help for the Mets who are not only hoping to import talent, but also develop from within and build a sustainable and dominant operation in Queens. The Yankees will have to replace his services, but with their pipeline of coaching talent, they should be able to find a suitable replacement in due time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
