A reminder to all the college baseball guys heading home for the Holidays: Championships are won in the next 3-4 weeks. Don’t become complacent, that’s when you get passed up by someone who is willing to put in the work. What you reap is what you sow!

Forever grateful for my experiences at Illinois State and want to thank Coach Holm and Crancer.
With that said, Parkland is a special to me and I can’t wait to give everything I have to the people and players in the program. #ChampaignForever

Couldn’t be more grateful for this opportunity to be back at Purdue with Coach Goff and staff. Excited to lace em up with these guys and be back in the old gold and black 🚂 Boiler Up!
Thrilled to welcome back alum @RossLearnard as our newest staffer for pitching analytics & team ops.
Ross was a 2-time All-American, setting team records for ERA (0.58, 2017) & saves (15, 2018). He coached at Illinois St. & Parkland after graduating.

Crazy to think back 4 years ago today when I made my commitment out of junior college as a way too skinny, soft-tossing lefty. I miss getting after hitters every day, but am blessed that now I’m able to help guys find their own way through the peaks and valleys of their careers.

Winning is a lifestyle that encompasses all aspects of your life, and shouldn’t be limited to scoring more runs than your opponent. The results on the scoreboard will take care of themselves and be sustained once it is fully understood that winning begins far before game day

Don’t give in to the temptation to cut corners. Persist through the days you question if it’s all worth it and keep chipping away every day at your goals knowing that if you fail it’s on your terms. You’ll either achieve what wanted or walk away a better person because of it.

One of the best in the business @kckohr! Can’t speak enough of how hard Casey works for the guys at @PurdueBaseball
🦷 The #Purdue dugout went crazy as Owen Jansen flashed his new (temporary) smile after getting hit in the mouth by a pitch.

Couldn’t be happier for Coach Holm! I wouldn’t have had the success I did without him and the rest of the staff at Purdue.
👏👏👏 #ThankYou @Steve_Holm20. Well deserved opportunity for our pitching coach in Bloomington-Normal. @RedbirdBaseball is in great hands with the former big league catcher. purduesports.com/sports/m-ba…

Leaders can sit and discuss how they want their corporate/team culture to look all day, but it means nothing unless they’re going to live it out. Culture is more caught than taught!

Leaders: use what makes you tick to help the next person in line figure out that same thing, which will assist them in maximizing their potential. The results will speak for themselves and will create a positive, self-motivating culture.

Communication is the engine that keeps an organization running. Whether it be through words, actions or writing it allows everyone within to understand explicitly the mission, vision, values and expectations and their roles within each aspect.

Loved catching up and reminiscing with @KyleCharters79. I’m grateful to have met countless people who made my time at @PurdueBaseball so memorable!
From his home in Illinois, @RossLearnard (2017-18) reflects on how effectively success translated to Big Ten level.
2:10 - What @Steve_Holm20 told him after 34-inning streak ended
4:40 - Works with Holm, Crancer on coaching staff at ISU
6:15 - 2018 was "perfect ending to career"
