MEET THE COACHING STAFF
FIRST SEASON SOUTH DAKOTA STATE, 2008 COLSTRIP, MONT.
Craig Parry is in his first season with the Hornets in 2013 and will serve as the team’s volunteer assistant coach. Perry saw time at catcher and in the outfield under head coach Reggie Christiansen when the current Hornets’ head man coached at South Dakota State from 2005-08. Perry was a standout with the Jackrabbits and was taken in the 50th round of the 2008 MLB draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates. He spent two seasons in minor league baseball. As a senior at South Dakota State in 2008, Parry started all 49 games and hit .338 in 195 at-bats with 42 runs, 47 RBIs, 20 doubles, five triples and 10 home runs. He started 46 games as a junior and hit .329 with 32 RBIs, 14 doubles, three triples and seven home runs. Before playing at South Dakota State, Parry attended Miles City (Mont.) Community college after graduating from Colstrip HS in Colstrip, Mont.
FIRST SEASON SACRAMENTO STATE ROCKLIN, CALIF.
Trevor Paine is in his first season on the coaching staff at Sacramento State and will serve as the director of baseball operations. The former Hornet played his final season in green and gold in 2012, when he was a second team all-Western Athletic Conference and academic all-WAC selection. He hit .308 in 182 at-bats overall on the season with 23 runs, 13 doubles, three home runs and 32 RBIs. Due to injury, Paine made a successful move from pitcher to hitter in 2010, prior to his junior season, after missing most of his 2009 season with an elbow injury. The transition was a smooth one, as Paine hit a team-best .381 on the season with a team-high 10 home runs, 107 total bases and 44 RBIs. He also posted 30 runs and struck out just 13 times while drawing 20 walks in 176 at-bats. Paine tallied three four-RBI games in 2010, all against WAC opponents. Paine is a 2007 graduate of Jesuit HS and was MVP of the Delta River League following his senior season. He went 3-2 with a 1.06 ERA that year while hitting .430 with three home runs and 18 RBIs.
