The Colorado Rockies have named Ethan Katz as their new pitching coach, according to a report from SB Nation. Katz most recently served as an assistant pitching coach for the Houston Astros, where he worked alongside pitching consultant Brent Strom.
The hiring was announced on November 3, 2026. Katz brings experience from the Astros organization, which has been recognized for its pitching development in recent years. The Rockies will be looking for Katz to help improve a pitching staff that has historically faced challenges at Coors Field's hitter-friendly environment.
