Former Dodgers Pitcher Eyes Midseason MLB Return From Free Agency

The volunteer first base coach for the Reds of Milton Little League in Massachusetts looks like any kid’s dad who enjoys being on the diamond with his son. This coach isn’t an ordinary dad, though. He has 90 Major League wins on his resumé and has pitched in a couple of World Series.

Former Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill is enjoying his time coaching his son Brice, which is why he decided not to play for a major league organization this spring. He even turned down three contract offers to spend extra time with his son, who is in his last season of Little League ball.

“I’ve only seen Brice play four games over the last three years or whatever,” Hill told MLB.com’s Ian Browne. “Getting the opportunity, knowing that it was his last year of Little League, that’s something that you can’t get back.”

Hill also serves as the team’s pitching coach, sharing a lifetime of advice with kids playing on the same field he grew up on.
