Seattle, WA -- (Sports Network) - Mel Stottlemyre will not return to the Seattle Mariners as pitching coach next season.

The Seattle Times on Monday reported that Stottlemyre said new Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu informed him over the weekend that the club would bring in a new pitching coach.

Wakamatsu, former bench coach for Oakland, was named Seattle's manager last Wednesday.

Stottlemyre just completed his first season as Mariners pitching coach. He had also been the pitching coach of the Mets (1984-1993), Astros (1994-95) and Yankees (1996-2005).
