WASHINGTON – Former William & Mary and Major League infielder Will Rhymes has ties to the Nationals, Dodgers, and Rays. And they have all come together in the past 24 hours or so.
He is the director of player development for Los Angeles, and has spent the past two years working with new Washington pitching coach Jim Hickey. Rhymes and Hickey in 2012 were part of Tampa Bay, which faces the Dodgers in the World Series this week.
Hickey, 58, was named the new pitching coach on Monday for Washington.
