We are deeply saddened at the passing of Jake Roehn ('18). Jake finished his time in Athens with two MAC Championships as well as 29 saves, making him Ohio's all-time saves leader - a mark that still stands. But along with a number of other baseball accolades, Jake, most importantly, was an amazing teammate and friend and he will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this time.
In processing the recent passing of former player Jake Roehn I have been reading several comments about how genuine, fun loving and sweet he was to everyone he came into contact with. All of this so true. My experience with Jake also was one of him being the ultimate warrior as a pitcher.
As one of our first big recruits in a 2013 class that defined an era, Jake was incredibly competitive, resilient and accomplished during his 5 years with Ohio Baseball. As a freshman he was the Friday starter. He missed the 2015 season with a condition that nobody knew if we would return back to normal. Jake didn’t feel sorry for himself or quit, he continued to be the warrior that he was and not only returned, but took on a new role as the closer.
From there he set the single season record for saves in 2017 while also becoming the all time saves leader in program history during his final season in 2018. Jake’s warrior mentality shined the greatest in 2017 helping lead his team to a MAC championship earning three saves in four games. When the team had a lead every player and coach in the dugout wanted Jake out there. He was truly a gift to coach and I was proud to have been a part of his life for the 5 years we were together. Rest in peace warrior. You will be missed.
Beyond excited to announce that I am joining the Milwaukee Brewers as a minor league pitching coach! Words aren’t enough to express my gratitude to everyone who has helped along this journey. This is truly a dream come true and I’m fired up to get to work! #ThisIsMyCrew
I don’t know why people thought Tennessee was good. They never had a chance in this game. Sec bias on full display. Big 10 was best conference last year. Best conference this year
@RyanHarmon21@GolfweekRingler@BrentleyGC They will re-classify before they fund it in many cases. I predict split classification and conference affiliation in some cases. Schools may be D1 in selected sports and D2/D3 in others.
