Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Rob Scahill describes how to work a camera outside the clubhouse at Maryvale Baseball Park in Phoenix on Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2017.

For Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Rob Scahill, baseball is his livelihood but photography is his hobby as he chronicles all the great things he sees in his travels on Instagram.

Samantha Pell, a journalism student at Arizona State's Cronkite School, writes about Scahill's passion for photography in a new story on CactusLeagueWire.com.

As of Tuesday, Scahill’s nine most recent posts on Instagram (@rscahill53) included a New Year’s Eve photo of him and his wife, pictures of empty ballparks and a stunning photo at dusk of Pittsburgh’s PNC Park and the adjacent Allegheny River that had racked up 335 likes and nine comments.

His Instagram collection includes photos of major-league parks from cozy Fenway Park to expansive Dodger Stadium, from waterfront AT&T Park in San Francisco to Coors Field a mile up in Denver.

Scahill, 30, is at the Brewers camp as a non-roster invitee. He has pitched in 100 major-league games over five seasons with Colorado, Pittsburgh and Milwaukee, compiling a 3.68 ERA with 86 strikeouts and 46 walks in 122.1 innings.

NOTE: For the seventh spring, a group of students from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University, in partnership with the Journal Sentinel, are providing an outside-the-baselines look at the Brewers during training camp.
