Richmond Flying Squirrels broadcaster Trey Wilson sat down chat with pitcher Dylan Hecht about his path to signing with the San Francisco Giants this spring. The 31-year-old reliever attended UC Santa Barbara and DII Sonoma State before a few brief stints in independent baseball. He retired from baseball in 2021 but continued playing in recreational leagues, and after solving a long medical mystery, he found himself throwing in the upper-90s. Hecht signed with the Giants this spring and climbed to Double-A with Richmond in June.
