Coaching Staff

Jordan Price returns for his second season at the helm as Field Manager for the 2024 season after becoming the 4th Field Manager for the Big Sticks since their inaugural season in 2018. During the 2022 Badlands season, Price was the pitching coach and helped the Big Sticks pitchers succeed on the mound.

“I am very grateful to be back for another season, this club and our fans are ready for the Northwoods,” said Price. “My last two years in the Badlands have been great. Now, Dickinson feels like home, and I can’t wait to be back again in ‘24 around such a great community”

In 2023, during Price’s first season as manager the team finished with 32 wins which makes six consecutive seasons of 30+ wins. In 448 innings pitched the Big Sticks finished 1st in ERA (3.06).

In 2022, The Big Sticks finished 3rd with an ERA of 4.87 in 505 innings pitched. Badlands also qualified for the playoffs for the 5th consecutive season. The Big Sticks also reached 31 victories in 2022 which makes five consecutive seasons with 30+ wins. Badlands celebrated their 5th anniversary in 2022.

“Jordan will be a great fit for leading our program,” stated Big Sticks General Manager Jason Watson. “He is very knowledgeable and really connected with the players last season. He has a lot of connections which will allow us to continue to bring in quality players but more importantly, quality people who will be active in our community while they are in Dickinson.”

It is going to be a great summer in the Northwoods, Go Big Sticks!”
