Brewers retain Chris Hook as pitching coach on multi-year deal
Milwaukee, WI – The Milwaukee Brewers have announced that they have signed pitching coach Chris Hook to a multi-year contract extension. Hook has been with the Brewers since 2020 and has helped guide the team to a 199-150 record over the last three seasons.
Under Hook’s guidance, the Brewers’ pitching staff has consistently ranked among the best in the league. In 2023, the Brewers led the National League in ERA (3.42), WHIP (1.12), and strikeouts per nine innings (10.2). The team also set a franchise record for most strikeouts in a season (1,752).
“Chris has been a valuable member of our coaching staff and has played a key role in the success of our pitching staff,” said Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns. “We are excited to have him continue to lead our pitchers for years to come.”
Hook is a former major league pitcher who spent nine seasons in the majors with the Mets, Marlins, and Yankees. He was a member of the Marlins’ 2003 World Series championship team. After retiring from playing, Hook worked as a pitching coach in the minors before joining the Brewers in 2020.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to work with the Brewers,” said Hook. “I believe in the direction of this team and I am excited to help us achieve our goals.”
The Brewers’ pitching staff is expected to be one of the best in the league again in 2024. The team returns ace Corbin Burnes, who won the NL Cy Young Award in 2021, as well as Brandon Woodruff, Freddy Peralta, and Adrian Houser. The Brewers also added veteran starting pitcher Wade Miley in free agency.
With Hook leading the way, the Brewers’ pitching staff is poised to continue to be one of the best in the league for years to come.
