Kutztown pitcher Stephen Hood passed away in December and the team wanted to pay tribute.
KU dedicated the bullpen to him naming it “Hoody’s Bullpen.”
There will be a bench placed there as well in honor of Hood.
The team had a pregame dedication ceremony before their doubleheader with Mansfield.
He graduated from Panther Valley in 2024 and was beloved by everyone on the Golden Bears.
Hood’s brother Brad plays on Mansfield.
Kutztown won Game 1 of the doubleheader off Jared Ferguson’s walk off single 3-2.
They ended up sweeping Mansfield winning 4-3 in Game 2.
