Denver, CO (Sports Network) - The Colorado Rockies completed their coaching staff for the 2003 season by naming Bob Apodaca as their pitching coach.

Apodaca will be reunited with Rockies manager Clint Hurdle. The two worked together four of the six seasons that Hurdle managed in the New York Mets' minor league system.

Apodaca was the Mets' major league pitching coach from August 1996 to July 1999 and the Milwaukee Brewers' in 2000 and 2001. He then returned to the Mets in 2002 as the pitching coach at the organization's affiliate in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
