The Royals today named Doug Henry the bullpen coach for the 2013 season.  Henry, who served as the Royals interim bullpen coach the final two weeks of the 2012 season, takes over for Steve Foster, who was named the club’s Special Assistant to GM/Minor League Pitching Coordinator on August 31. 

“Doug has worked as a pitching coach or coordinator at nearly every minor league level and brings a strong working relationship with a majority of our current Major League relief pitchers,” Royals’ GM Dayton Moore said.  “His experience in the game will be invaluable to our coaching staff as well as the pitchers he’ll interact with on a daily basis.”
