Okotok Dawgs Assistant Coach, Mesa College Assistant Coach

Cade Herrmann was a great teammate and fierce competitor. He was a big part of Okotoks winning back to back to back (2022 - 2024) summer league championships. Cade was a relief pitcher who gladly accepted the role as a "bridge" reliever. He came into close games, usually in the 7, 8, 9th innings with runners on base and either minimized or pitched out of the inning. In three years his approximately 60 appearances were highly intense and stressful yet he was extremely successful. He would pitch in 3 to five games per week. One series of three consecutive games at the end of the 2024 season, he threw 14 pitches. He threw 1 pitch in the first game to induce an inning ending double play. Threw 3 pitches the next night to get two outs, and 10 the next night to get 2 outs and finish the inning.

Cade's fastball is 89-92 with a plus curveball and a good slider. He is quick to the plate and holds runners well. He fields his position well.

As a teammate Cade encourages others, particularly the pitching staff, and celebrates with them when they come off the field. Coaches and players like him. He readily accepted feedback and direction from coaches.

Cade helped at Dawgs Baseball Camps along with other players. Camps usually had 50 to 100 boys and girls aged 5 to 14. He enjoyed working with kids and it was noticeable that the kids had fun when doing drills and exercises.

Cade is very motivated to continue his baseball career and I would highly recommend him to an international program. Good luck!
