The Toronto Blue Jays have another bullpen coach.

The American League club announced on Monday that Pat Hentgen, after just one year on the job, has decided to step down "for family reasons," the team said in a news release.

The new bullpen coach will be Pete Walker, a former Blue Jays pitcher who last season served as the pitching coach for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, the Blue Jays Double A affiliate.

The Blue Jays said that Hentgen, a former Cy Young Award winner for the Blue Jays, has agreed to become a special assistant to the organization.
