Rockies’ Steve Foster staying connected with his pitchers during coronavirus

The coronavirus has turned our world upside down, shaken it, stirred it and left us all a bit dizzy.

But life goes on, and for the fortunate, work does too.

For Rockies pitching coach Steve Foster, now sequestered in Wisconsin, baseball remains central to his day. He texts his pitchers frequently, shares videos and coaches them from afar. Baseball also has helped relieve a heavy thought on his mind.

When the pandemic exploded, his brother, P.J. Foster, was on a United States Navy warship, on his way home and awaiting his release from the Navy after serving for 20 years.
