Twins fire pitching coach Pete Maki, assistant pitching coach Luis Ramirez after finishing 25th in MLB in ERA

Following the conclusion of their latest campaign, the Minnesota franchise dismissed pitching instructor Pete Maki alongside his assistant, Luis Ramirez. The organization struggled significantly on the mound, finishing twenty-fifth across the league in overall earned run average after a downward trend over the previous four years.

Internal metrics evaluating independent pitching outcomes also showed a notable regression within the starting rotation compared to prior seasons, even as front-office personnel previously traded away a half-dozen bullpen and starting arms prior to the midsummer deadline. Maki originally joined the franchise infrastructure as a minor-league coordinator prior to his promotion to the major-league staff, while Ramirez spent two decades within the organization across various coaching capacities before taking his recent role.
