Ethan Katz Joins Astros As Assistant Pitching Coach For 2026

Katz joins the Astros as assistant pitching coach after five years running the White Sox staff, where he worked with arms like Cease, Giolito and Crochet. He’ll partner with pitching coach Miller on a rotation seeking reinforcements with Valdez as a free agent. Houston still ranks firmly strong in ERA and strikeouts, which wants Katz to keep that edge.
