Cubs hitting coach Dustin Kelly isn’t one to interject if not invited. That kind of feel has served him well guiding a group of major-league players through the volatile journey of a baseball season.
So it didn’t surprise his older brother, University of Washington head coach Jason Kelly, when Dustin took an observational tact when he stopped by campus for a practice last month.
“But he coached our coaches, which was cool,” Jason said in a phone interview.
The Cubs’ and Huskies’ schedules aligned last month. The Cubs, in their first trip to Seattle since 2019, had a day off before their three-game series against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park.
