It wasn’t long into retirement before Lorenzo de’ Medici got bored. It makes sense. He begged to pitch every day when he was with the Bluebirds. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that the future Hall of Famer didn’t want to sit on his hands in retirement. It has been announced that he has agreed to become a pitching coach in Nashville’s farm system.

“I tried golf,” said de’ Medici. “It just wasn’t for me. I’m a baseball player. I realize my playing days are well beyond me, but it’s still in my blood. I have a few things I hope I can teach the next generation.”
de’ Medici will begin working with the Santo Domingo Sea Turtles in Short A where he hopes to develop young pitchers into Bluebirds. Players were both excited and scared with the announcement with SP Alvin Evans saying “Oh [expletive]. He’s gonna make us throw every day, huh? I guess it’s for the best to learn from the best. I’m sure we’ll be pushed beyond our limits and the strong will survive.”
