My heart is heavy today. Jim Toman was more than just a coaching colleague. He was an icon. He set the standard for recruiting coordinators in college baseball. More importantly, he was a great friend. I'm thankful for all good times and laughs we shared. RIP "Big Guy".

A family affair 💛 Tonight's first pitch is extra special for the Kurtz family. Nick's dad Jeff had the honor of throwing it out on Nick Kurtz bobblehead night!
