With the 2026 baseball season starting just one week from today, I asked #Mizzou baseball players if they relish being the underdog, as they hope to make their next jump as a program ⬇️

Camdenton alum Kam Durnin said: "It feels comfortable. Growing up where I did...I'm used to the underdog mentality, just having to work more."

Coach Kerrick Jackson has assembled a group who knows the underdog feeling well. Players add that their drive matches the mentality of the state they're in: blue collar.

You already know the vibes —signed, sealed and ready with ETTB at Mizzou. Follow along this year! 🐅✍️ #MIZ #ETTB

[Jill Durnin, Ed.D. @JillDurnin]

He did more than coach baseball—He built a culture. He changed the standard. He created expectations where there were none. He poured into young men & challenged them become the best version of themselves. It was never really about basball. Job well done! Love you, @teamdurnin!
