"We are absolutely thrilled to add Roger to our staff," Manager Bobby Cox said. "He is one of the true up-and-coming teachers of the game. He has a great knowledge of pitching and the reviews and evaluations we had on him were tremendous. Roger was a great competitor as a player -- he started, he relieved and he even fought through arm problems, so he comes in with a great level of experience that our pitchers will learn from."
"I am very excited and honored by this opportunity to join the Braves coaching staff," McDowell said. "I have such strong respect for Bobby Cox and [Braves General Manager] John Schuerholz -- they have built a very highly-regarded organization and one that I am proud to represent. This is a very exciting time for my family and I'm looking forward to meeting the challenges and expectations that are synonymous with Atlanta Braves baseball."
