Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly will pitch for Team USA in next spring’s World Baseball Classic.
Lovullo said he is not yet sure how the team and Kelly will approach it, but once he has a firm idea of dates and innings expectations, the club will map out a throwing program that it hopes will put him in the best position to succeed and stay healthy.
Kelly is the only Diamondbacks player to be named to a WBC roster, but several others are said to be under consideration.Lovullo said all of his coaches are expected to return for 2023, the first time that has happened during his six years on the job. Most of Lovullo’s staff remained intact from 2017 to 2018 except for bench coach Ron Gardenhire, who departed to become manager of the Detroit Tigers. Every other year the club made changes, cycling through hitting, pitching and bench coaches.
“There’s got to be a little shift in mindset,” Lovullo said. “We’ve got to go out there with an attitude that we are going to get it done. That’s something we’re going to hone in on this offseason. We’ve already begun talking about it as coaches. More of a mental makeup.”
