Cleveland Indians hire Charles Nagy to be Class AAA pitching coach
By Paul Hoynes, The Plain Dealer
If Sandy Alomar Jr. can come home, why not Charles Nagy?
The Indians have hired Nagy as their Class AAA pitching coach at Columbus. He replaces Scott Radinski who was promoted to manager Manny Acta's big-league staff in Cleveland as bullpen coach. Another new addition to Acta's staff is Alomar as the first base coach and catching instructor.
Nagy and Alomar were an enduring battery for the Indians in the 1990s. Alomar caught for the Tribe from 1990 through 2000. Nagy pitched for the Indians from 1990 through 2002.
In another coaching move Lee May Jr. was promoted from Class AA Akron to Columbus as hitting coach.
Nagy went 129-103 for the Indians. He finished his career with the Padres.
He was a special assistant for Indians GM Mark Shapiro and the Angels Class AAA pitching coach.
"There could not be a better fit for us than Charles Nagy," said Ross Atkins, Indians director of player development. "Not only regarding his major league pedirgree, but his Cleveland Indians pedigree.
"I think he'll be ideal for helping pitchers get over the hump at Triple-A to the big leagues."
Nagy and Alomar are recent inductees into the Indians Hall of Fame.
