Scott Brosius, the former big league infielder who has been coaching in the college ranks the last 13 years, is returning to the pros as hitting coach for the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers in the Mariners' organization.
After concluding his 11-year Major League career in 2001 with the Yankees, Brosius spent five seasons as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Linfield College, and took over as head coach in 2008. He led the Wildcats to a 270-96 record, five conference titles, four regional titles and one national championship, in the process earning five Northwest Conference Coach of the Year honors.
