Grant Stevens – Head Coach<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Grant was the pitching development coach for the University of Oklahoma baseball team. He was also involved in recruiting, advance scouting and baseball analytics for the Sooners. Also, he spent four years pitching for the University of Pacific, and one year for the University of Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

He was highly recommended by Steve Foster, a former major leaguer and Wausau Woodchucks manager. Grant’s references expressed that he is humble, hungry, and smart leader. A very well-rounded person that has high expectations for himself and the young men he leads. He has an inner drive and a desire to serve others.<\/p>\n

Official Statement from Grant:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am incredibly honored and excited to step into the role of Head Coach. This opportunity is more than just about baseball- it’s about building something within our players, our program, and our community!<\/p>\n

Baseball has always been a powerful platform for teaching life lessons- discipline, teamwork, resilience and I’m committed to using this game not only to develop great athletes, but great people. My goal is to lead with Faith, Purpose, and Passion. I believe that these values will help our team have success now and in the future years to come.<\/p>\n

Faith will be a cornerstone of our culture. I believe that when we lead with strong values, we create an environment where young men can become leaders and driven by purpose to help build something bigger than themselves here and around the Rafters community. Together we’ll build something very special!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
