- Robert Wayne Kipper (born July 8, 1964) is an American professional baseball coach and a former middle-relief pitcher in Major League Baseball. In 2018, he will begin his third different term as the pitching coach of the Greenville Drive of the Single-A South Atlantic League. Kipper has also spent two terms (2002 and the final seven weeks of the 2015 season) as bullpen coach of the parent Boston Red Sox.A native of Aurora, Illinois, Kipper, a left-hander, stood 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall and weighed 200 pounds (91 kg) during his active career. After graduating from Aurora Central Catholic High School, he was selected by the California Angels with the eighth pick in the first round of the 1982 Major League Baseball Draft. He had signed to play baseball at Nebraska before his selection. Kipper led the Class A California League in wins (18) and earned run average (2.04) as his league's "pitcher of the year" in 1984. He made his MLB debut with the Angels in April 1985 at age 20, but was ineffective in two games pitched and was returned to the minor leagues. Then, on August 16, 1985, the contending Angels included Kipper in a six-player trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates that netted them veterans John Candelaria, George Hendrick and Al Holland. Kipper would pitch in 247 games for the Pirates over all or parts of seven seasons (1985–91)—initially as a starter, but then as a relief specialist—before finishing his MLB career for the Minnesota Twins in 1992. In his eight-season MLB career, Kipper posted a 27–37 record with a 4.43 ERA and 11 saves in 271 appearances. He allowed 527 hits and 217 bases on balls, with 369 strikeouts, and 562 innings pitched. Following his playing retirement, Kipper has worked as a pitching coach in independent league baseball and in the minor leagues. A member of the Boston Red Sox organization since 1999, he has coached for their Lowell Spinners (1999), Augusta GreenJackets (2000–01), Greenville Drive (2005–06; 2008–09; 2018), Lancaster JetHawks (2007), Portland Sea Dogs (2003–04; 2010–14), and Pawtucket Red Sox (2015–17) affiliates, working with teams from short-season leagues to Triple-A. Kipper spent the full 2002 season as bullpen coach of the MLB Red Sox. Thirteen years later, on August 16, 2015, he was named Boston's interim bullpen coach, part of a chain reaction of moves driven by manager John Farrell's medical leave of absence for treatment of lymphoma. In Farrell's absence, bench coach Torey Lovullo became acting manager and bullpen coach Dana LeVangie became acting bench coach.

- Brandon Charles Kolb (born November 20, 1973 in Oakland, California) is a former right-handed relief pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers in 2000 and 2001. He attended Monte Vista High School in Danville, California. He later went to Chabot College and then to Texas Tech. Standing at 6'1", 190 pounds, Kolb was originally drafted by the Oakland Athletics 1077th overall in the 1993 draft. Deciding not to sign, he would have to wait until 1995 to be drafted again, when he was selected by the Padres in the fourth round. This time, he chose to sign. Originally a starter in the minors, his best record was 16–9, which he achieved in 1996 with the Clinton LumberKings. Although he showed promise as a starter in the minor leagues, he was being used mostly as a reliever by 1998. He spent 1998 and 1999 entirely as a reliever. He made his Major League debut on May 12, 2000 against the Arizona Diamondbacks at the age of 26. Although he struck out one batter in the single inning he pitched that game, he also gave up two hits and an earned run. He would improve down the stretch, lowering his season ERA to 4.50. Although he gave up 16 hits in 14 innings that year, not one of them was a home run. He walked 11 and struck out 12 that year. During the 2000/2001 offseason, Kolb was sent to the Brewers with a player to be named later for Santiago Pérez and a player to be named later. The players to be named would end up being Will Cunnane for the Padres and minor leaguer Chad Green of the Brewers. His career took a major turn for the worse while with the Padres in 2001. He did not give up a single earned run until his fifth appearance of 2001, but he still posted a season ERA of 13.03. He gave up six home runs in 92⁄3 innings of work, including three in one inning—on June 20 against the Cincinnati Reds, Kolb gave up home runs to Sean Casey, Michael Tucker, and Pokey Reese. Since he had given up two home runs the game before, Kolb ended up allowing five home runs over a two-game span—he pitched a total of only 12⁄3 innings in that time. His season ended on September 19, 2001. In his final career game, Kolb allowed two earned runs. He did strike out the final batter he faced in his career, though. It was pitcher Steve Kline. After his big league career ended, Kolb spent time bouncing around the minors until 2004, even spending time in independent baseball. Overall in his Major League career, Kolb was 0–1 with a 7.99 ERA in 21 games. In 232⁄3 innings of work, Kolb walked 19 and struck out 20. He went 0-for-2 as a batter, although he did score a run. His fielding percentage was .667. He wore numbers 47 and 38 in his career. He lives in Flower Mound, Texas and is a private instructor.

- Brian Edmondson is a 6'2", 165 lb. former right-handed pitcher from Fontana, California. Born on January 29, 1973, he was a third-round selection of the Detroit Tigers in the 1991 amateur draft. Soon after that, the rookie-level Bristol Tigers would welcome him to the Appalachian League and see him go 4-4 over 12 starts, with a 4.57 ERA. He was promoted to the single-A Fayetteville Generals in the South Atlantic League the following season. He would go 10-6 with a 3.37 ERA, starting in 27 of his 28 appearances and racking up a 1.37 WHIP. In 1993, Edmondson joined the Lakeland Tigers in the high-A Florida State League, and went 8-5, 2.99 over 19 starts with a 1.38 WHIP. He moved up to the double-A level London Tigers near the end of the season in the Eastern league, where he had less success, going 0-4 over five starts with a 6.26 ERA and a 1.87 WHIP. In 1994, Edmondson joined the Trenton Tigers, Detroit's new Eastern League affiliate. He spent the whole season there, and went 11-9 in 26 starts. He posted a 4.56 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP, striking out 90 in 162 innings. Just prior to the 1995 minor league campaign, the New York Mets selected him off waivers from the Tigers. Edmondson spent two and a half seasons with the Binghampton Mets in the Eastern League, appearing in 76 games and making 35 starts. He posted a 15-17 record in that time, and averaged 4.25 earned runs per nine innings. Near the end of May in 1997, he finally made the jump to triple-A, joining the Norfolk Tides in the International League, making starts in four of his 31 appearances and going 4-3 with a 2.90 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP with 65 strikeouts in 68.2 innings pitched. After the season, the Atlanta Braves claimed him from the Mets in the Rule 5 draft. The Rule 5 draft necessitates that any player selected must remain on the major league roster for the entire season or else be subject to getting reclaimed by the original club. Edmonson began the campaign on Atlanta's opening day roster, and made 10 appearances for the Braves during the first two months of the season. In his first major league game, on April 2, he entered the game in the 11th inning of an 8-6 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, giving up two runs in 0.2 innings. He went 0-1 with a blown save and a 4.32 ERA over 16.2 innings for Atlanta, with eight strikeouts and a 1.320 WHIP. The Braves lost him on June 4, when he failed to clear waivers and joined the Florida Marlins. Edmondson made at least nine appearances per month for the Marlins, totaling 43 games by the end of the season. From June 8 through July 12, he appeared in a dozen games, holding opposing batters to a sub-one WHIP and a 1.47 ERA and striking out 13 over 18.1 innings. It started on June 8, when he earned his first major league win by pitching the 15th through the 17th inning and allowing two singles while striking out three in a 4-3 win against the Toronto Blue Jays. On July 4, he earned the win when he entered in the fourth and pitched through the end of the eighth, allowing a single earned run and striking out three in a 3-2 win over the Montreal Expos. In total for Florida, he went 4-3 with a 3.79 ERA and a 1.534 WHIP, striking out 32 in 59.1 innings. In 1999, Edmondson led the Marlins relief corps with 94.0 innings pitched, and struck out 58 batters. He went 5-8 in 68 appearances with a 5.84 ERA and a 1.596 WHIP. He earned his first win of the season on April 27, pitching 3.1 innings of shutout ball against the Chicago Cubs, striking out three and hitting two doubles with an RBI. Incidentally, he went four-for-11 from the plate on the season, his only four major league hits. On September 8, he struck out three and allowed no baserunners in 1.2 innings of a 5-4, 13-inning win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Just before the start of the 2000 season, Edmondson had surgery for a torn labrum and rotator cuff, spending the whole season on the DL. He made his return in 2001, joining the high-A Brevard County Manatees in the FSL on opening day, and going 5-2 with a 1.73 ERA over 16 appearances, with 21 strikeouts in 26 innings and a 1.04 WHIP. He joined the Eastern League's Portland Beavers in late-May, then duplicated his 1.73 ERA over 14 games, going 2-3 in 26 innings with a 0.81 WHIP. He worked his way up to the Calgary Cannons in the triple-A Pacific Coast League, going 2-5 with an 8.49 ERA over 23 games with a 1.96 WHIP. Florida released Edmondson on March 8, 2002. Edmondson signed a minor league deal with the Cleveland Indians, and played the start of the season with the double-A Akron Aeros in the Eastern League, going 2-0 over seven innings and not giving up a run. He struck out six and allowed three baserunners. The second part of the season would see him with the Erie Seawolves, Detroit's entrant in the Eastern League. In 38 games, he went 3-2 with a 4.00 ERA, 36 K's in 45 IP, and a 1.42 WHIP. In 2003, Edmondson went 8-7, 1.95 with the independent Northeast League's Elmira Pioneers, striking out 114 in 148 innings and posting a 0.98 WHIP.

- Brian Patrick Sikorski (born July 27, 1974 in Detroit, Michigan) is a former baseball relief pitcher. Although Sikorski made his MLB debut in 2000, he didn't play another game in the big leagues until 2006. He played professional baseball in Japan for five years, until 2005 for the Yomiuri Giants. The Cleveland Indians acquired Sikorski in a trade July 18, 2006, by sending right-handed pitcher Mike Adams to the San Diego Padres. On May 17, 2007, Sikorski's contract was sold to the Tokyo Yakult Swallows. He signed to play for the Chiba Lotte Marines in 2008. After two more seasons with the Marines, Sikorski signed a contract with the Saitama Seibu Lions to be the team's closer in 2010. Securing the closer spot for the first time in his Japanese career, Sikorski responded, as of August 29, 2010, he leads the Pacific League in saves with 30, and he did not blow a save until August 20 against the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters. Until the 2010 season, Sikorski's record for saves was 15; this was broken on May 25 against the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. Sikorski attended Western Michigan University and obtained a degree in criminology. Brian was drafted in the fourth round of the 1995 amateur entry draft by the Houston Astros. Like many pitchers, Sikorski is known for his strict adherence to his pre-pitching routine. Two of his most noticeable routines are how he vigorously swings his right (pitching) arm in a windmill-style circle, both forwards and backwards before throwing his warmup pitches. Also, after getting the third out of the inning, he sprints off the mound and jumps over the foul line on the way to his team's dugout, resulting in him usually being the first one in. In 2016, Sikorski was listed as a member of the Texas Rangers' professional scouting staff, based in Fraser, Michigan.
