Rich Hill's mantra stayed the same as his Dodgers moved through the 2017 MLB postseason. It has actually stayed the same since the beginning of his up-and-down 13-year career, and it is simple: Stay in the moment. Make the pitch. Make the pitch after that. And don't ever quit working.
As Hill, 37, looks ahead to his 14th big league season after coming oh-so-close to his first World Series title last fall, he is applying that same philosophy to his offseason training.
"The biggest thing I can point to is being able to understand how to execute in the moment and stay in the moment, and it's the same thing in the weight room for me as it is on the mound," Hill said.
