The post Report: White Sox to name Derek Shomon as hitting coach, Zach Bove as pitching coach appeared first on Sox On 35th.
The White Sox have reportedly decided on the newest additions to Will Venable’s coaching staff.
In a social media post, the team announced Zach Bove as their next major-league pitching coach, with Matt Wise returning for his third season as bullpen coach. Though not yet confirmed by the club, Sox Machine’s James Fegan also reports Derek Shomon will be named as hitting coach.
Bove, who replaces Ethan Katz in the dugout, has most recently served as Kansas City’s Assistant Pitching Coach and Director of Major League Pitching Strategy. He joined the Royals ahead of the 2023 season after spending several years with the Twins organization. Before that, he was a coach at the College of Central Florida, where several pitchers under his guidance went on to get drafted.
Like Bove, Shomon also got his start in Minnesota during the 2022 season and went on to serve as their assistant hitting coach from 2023-24. He most recently spent the 2025 season in Miami holding the same title under first-year manager Clayton McCullough.
This is a developing story. More to come.
