One time Federal Way High School baseball and football standout Brian Hinchy recently passed away, it was announced by his sister Stephanie Hinchy-Stamper on his Facebook account.
In baseball he was mostly known for his power hitting ability for the Eagles in the spring and for the Federal Way American Legion team in the summer.
But it was his ability to throw the baseball fast in occasional right-handed relief pitching performances that earned him a brief professional career in the minor league system of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
"We will take comfort knowing he is no longer in pain," wrote Hinchy-Stamper. "All I can picture right now is all the laughter going on up there in Heaven."
"He was always so nice to me," wrote his Federal Way baseball coach, Eric Fiedler. "I have never and will never forget him."
Former Eagles football coach Tom McConnaughey also responded in writing.
"Enjoyed coaching him and being part of his journey," he said.
