Pat Listach will not be back next year as the Houston Astros’ third-base coach.

The Astros let Listach know this week that he will not be joining new manager A.J. Hinch’s staff. Listach spent one year with Houston.

“I’m very disappointed,” Listach told MLB.com. “I understand it’s a business, but I’m disappointed.”

Listach managed in the Chicago Cubs’ minor league system before joining the Washington Nationals as their third-base coach. He returned to the Cubs as a bench coach and a third-base coach and then spent one season as the Los Angeles Dodgers’ minor-league infield coordinator before going to Houston.

Listach’s playing career spanned from 1992 to 1997. He was named National League Rookie of the Year with the Milwaukee Brewers in 1992.
