Summary
Ben Rice is taking center stage in the Home Run Derby with his dad, Dan, pitching for him—just like they’ve done every offseason for years, from tennis balls to full fields. Dan, a former Brown pitcher and seasoned employment lawyer, has been Ben’s biggest coach since toddlerhood, helping shape his swing and mindset. This father-son duo joins a growing list of MLB stars like Bryce Harper and Cal Raleigh who’ve had their dads pitch for them—and some even won. Hailing from Cohasset, MA, Ben was once a Yankees fan who idolized Derek Jeter, switched from hockey to baseball, and played college ball at Dartmouth before being drafted by the Yankees. Now, millions will watch as this decades-long tradition culminates on a major league field—proof that family, focus, and faith in the grind can lead to big moments.
