Dad’s Pitch Made the Moment | New York Yankees News
Description
Ben Rice’s Home Run Derby exit wasn’t about the stats—it was about the thrower: his dad, Dan. For years, Dan’s been Ben’s personal BP pitcher, driving hours to help him swing, even before MLB dreams took shape. A former Brown pitcher himself, Dan’s presence on the Derby stage was a sweet full-circle moment. Ben, drafted by the Yankees in 2021 and an All-Star this season, embraced the experience—not for the win, but for the bond. His journey from Dartmouth to the big leagues is fueled by dad’s sweat, sweat, and love. Sometimes, the real story isn’t the homers—it’s who’s tossing them.
