Scott Brosius has helped Mariners as hitting coach in Tacoma

When Scott Brosius left his post as the baseball coach at Linfield College last year after eight successful seasons, he cited a need for new challenges, the allure of a “new adventure.”

Brosius didn’t exactly picture divisional road trips to scenic Fresno, Reno and Sacramento as the first-year hitting coach for the Tacoma Rainiers, but hey, he’s never been one for five- and 10-year plans anyway.

“The travel, especially in Tacoma, was an eye-opener,” Brosius said this week. “I had to remind myself occasionally at 3 in the morning that this was all my idea.”

Otherwise, the job change has suited him.
