Harry Dominic Chiti (born December 10, 1958, in Independence, Missouri) is an American former professional baseball player, coach, scout and farm system official. In Major League Baseball, he has worked as bullpen coach of the Cleveland Indians, Baltimore Orioles, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, and Los Angeles Angels. He is a former left-handed pitcher in the minor leagues. He is currently the minor league pitching coordinator for the Los Angeles Angels.

Playing career

Dom Chiti was born in Independence, Missouri, the son of former major league catcher Harry Chiti. An All-America team member, Chiti was a second-round selection of the Atlanta Braves in the 1976 draft out of Raleigh-Egypt High School, Memphis, Tennessee. He started his professional career with the Kingsport Braves in 1976, and the following year he was named to the Western Carolinas League All-Star team as a member of Class A Greenwood Braves. But he suffered serious arm problems late in the 1978 season and never rose higher than the Double-A level. After leaving the Atlanta system, Chiti also played in the Orioles' organization in 1981 before retiring as a player.

Coaching career

Chiti started his coaching career in 1982 with the Texas Rangers organization. He also worked as a coach or a scout in the Baltimore and Cleveland systems and coached in the Venezuelan Winter League in 1995 for Caribes team. Chiti returned to the Rangers in 2002. After serving as a special assistant to the general manager in 2002-2003, for the next two years, he served as director of player personnel. 2006 marked his first season as the Rangers bullpen coach.

In October 2006, the Texas Rangers signed Ron Washington as their new manager for the 2007 season. Washington kept Chiti as the bullpen coach, as well as the hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo and pitching coach Mark Connor. Former Oakland manager Art Howe joined the staff as bench coach, although his contract was not renewed at the end of the disappointing 2008 season.

On November 8, 2013, he was hired as bullpen coach for the Baltimore Orioles replacing interim coach Scott McGregor. Chiti left the Orioles organization in November 2016 after he did not receive a new contract from the team and was hired to join the Atlanta Braves front office as the Director of Pitching. According to Chiti, he reached out to Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette on multiple occasions after the season to discuss his future with the team although his calls went unreturned.

In 2019, he was hired to replace Dave Trembley as Director of Player Development, but was reassigned in December of the same year.

In 2020, Chiti was hired as special assistant to the general manager for the Los Angeles Angels Perry Minasian. During the 2021 season he was hired as the bullpen coach initially on an interim basis replacing Matt Wise who was promoted to pitching coach following Mickey Callaway's suspension due to an investigation of Callaway's alleged sexual misconduct. On June 26, 2022, during a game against the Seattle Mariners, Chiti was suspended by Major League Baseball for five games during a benches-clearing brawl upon holding onto a Mariners player to stop the fighting.

Following the 2022 season, Chiti was reassigned within the Angels organization.

Chiti was hired by the New York Mets on December 20, 2022, to be the bullpen coach for the 2023 season. This marked the first time since 2016 where Chiti would be paired again with Buck Showalter following Showalter's hiring as the manager of the Mets before the 2022 season.

On October 23, 2023, Chiti rejoined the Angels organization as their minor league pitching coordinator.
