It has been a true joy to show up everyday and work alongside this crew and the rest of our coaching staff. Fortunate to be apart of a special program, university and community. Excited to open up down in Kansas City next weekend!
The DSU Baseball Brotherhood is a group of student-athletes with different abilities, talent, experience, and backgrounds who have come together for a shared purpose. Despite our individual differences, that common goal provides the thread that defines us as a team.

Down 5-2, 2 outs bases loaded, and time had expired. Told Asher he had to swing for the fences, safe to say that he listened!
Awesome moment, even better to see the reaction from our players and fans. Couldn’t be more proud of the way these guys compete and play the game.
Video of the walkoff grand slam 💣 from our own Asher Holmes (

). So glad this was captured on video to show the emotion and competitiveness the boys play with.
Asher competes as much as anyone we have. So happy for him and his family to get to experience this.

All these guys will be successful in their next chapters, got them for life!
Our 2021 season concluded today and while it’s always sad when a season ends, we have so much to look back on and be proud of. The wins, trophies and clutch performances are great, but it’s the memories and relationships that outlast them all. Love these dudes!
