Former Amherst High School, Liberty University and Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Randy Tomlin will serve as Liberty Christian Academy’s baseball coach, starting Jan. 23.
Tomlin, a southpaw who went 30-31 with a 3.43 ERA with the Pirates from 1990 to 1994 before his pitching career was sidetracked by a shoulder injury, spent 10 years as LU’s pitching coach and the past five in the same capacity with the Washington Nationals’ single-A affiliate at Potomac (2007 and 2008) and AA franchise in Harrisburg, Pa.
"I thought it was a good move for me to be at home to take care of the needs at home," said Tomlin, whose father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer in October of 2010 and died last June. "I loved being with the Nationals and still do, but I needed to take care of my family."
He is looking forward to his first head coaching position.

Happy for Tomlin, I know the Nats are really sad to see him go...and he turned down a few great career moves in order to come home, guess that shows where his heart is.
