Monday was a tough day for former Seattle Mariners catcher Scott Bradley, who was let go by Princeton University after serving as the head coach of the Tigers for 28 years.

While this year's version of the Tigers went just 15-27 overall, Bradley won seven Ivy League titles and made seven different trips to the NCAA Tournament. He coached multiple players who went onto play in the big leagues, including current Texas Rangers front office leader Chris Young and current Chicago White Sox manager Will Venable. Young pitched for the Mariners as well.

As a player, Bradley spent parts of nine seasons in the big leagues, including seven with the Mariners. He was a career .257 hitter with 18 homers, but he occupies a special place in Mariners history: He caught the first no-hitter in team history from Randy Johnson back on June 2, 1990.

Bradley has joined the 'Refuse to Lose Territory' podcast twice in the last two years, most recently stopping by in May. He spoke about Johnson's No. 51 retirement ceremony and what it was like to catch him, among other things.

"The big thing with Randy, it's not just the sheer velocity. It's the angles," Bradley said in a recent episode of the Refuse to Lose Territory podcast. "He's 6-foot-10. So, his release point is that much closer to home plate. So, his velocity plays up several miles an hour just because of his extension and his ability to release the ball closer to home plate. He also threw (low three-quarters) a ton. It wasn't like he was just coming right over the top. It was all the factors that they now have with Trackman and Hawkeye and some of these other great technologies out there. They can measure all those things. But I just know, listening to the great hitters talk about Randy, you just never got a good look at it. Yeah, the velocity was incredible, but you could never really get a sense of where the ball was coming from and when you see somebody that big on the mound and then you put them on a slope, it really changes the perspective. You're not used to facing guys that big."

While Bradley is most often referred to as a catcher, he was a valuable utility piece, playing 433 games behind the plate, 42 at designated hitter, 13 in the outfield, and 20 at third base.

Bradley added on social media that he has not retired from coaching and that he is ready for another opportunity.
