Fort Myers Naples, FL, August 11, 2026 —
The Los Angeles Angels have made significant changes to their coaching staff, dismissing pitching coach Mike Maddux, bullpen coach Dom Chiti, and assistant pitching coach Darryl Scott. The decision was announced by interim front-office leader John Mozeliak.
These firings occur as the Angels currently hold the worst record in Major League Baseball. The team is also on track for its eleventh consecutive losing season, a streak that underscores ongoing struggles.
Mozeliak stated that the purpose of these changes is to “evaluate and elevate the team’s pitching program.” The specifics regarding the timeline for these evaluations or any further planned adjustments to the coaching staff were not immediately provided.
The departure of Maddux, Chiti, and Scott marks a notable shift in the team’s leadership structure, particularly within the pitching department, as the organization seeks to improve its performance on the field.
