With
the announcement of Coach Cunningham’s resignation, Coach Kremer was endorsed
by CCC Athletics Director Chad Kerr. President Hoxie took the recommendation
from Kerr, interviewed Kremer, and with the advisement of his cabinet, Hoxie
made the decision to name Kremer the head coach.
Kerr
commented on the hiring saying, “Coach Kremer was the
logical choice to be the next Head Baseball Coach here at Central. We
hate to see Coach Cunningham go, but Derk was also instrumental in the growth
and improvement of the program while working side by side with Justin. A
testament to the direction of the College, the Baseball program, and
Athletics department as a whole was that we had a lot of very qualified
candidates reach out to me wanting to be the next coach but at the end of the
day Derk was the best choice.”
When asked
about the opportunity to lead the Tiger Baseball program, Coach Kremer
responded, "I am very excited about taking over the baseball program here
at Central. I am looking forward to continuing to build on the foundation we
have built the last couple of years."
Coach
Kremer will begin his duties as head coach immediately. He has already begun to
actively work to retain as many of the current team members as possible, and
continues to seek out recruits for next season.
