New West Virginia Power manager Eric Farris hopes comfort is key

Just three years separate the end of Eric Farris’s playing career from his first coaching job. Farris’s playing career ended in 2016 with the Indy ball Somerset Patriots, but before that he was a long-term member of the Brewers organization, drafted by Milwaukee in the fourth round of the 2007 draft after a strong college career at Loyola Marymount, where he was a Golden Spikes Award semifinalist. Farris played the 2008 season with the West Virginia Power, back when they were a Brewers affiliate; now, he’s the manager, headed into his second year in West Virginia after serving as the hitting coach last year.
