Summer Update - Jayson Huett


Summer Update - Jayson Huett worked as the St. Joseph Mustangs Bullpen Coach for the 2012 summer baseball season.  The St. Joseph Mustangs are a proud member of the MINK summer college woodbat league.  Jayson Huett is from Huntington Beach, California. After high school, Jayson attended Cypress Community College in California.  After Jayson earned his AA degree he transferred to Northwest Missouri State University to finish his career. Jayson graduated in the spring of 2012 with his bachelor science degree at Northwest in Physical Education and will become a teacher and head baseball coach. During the last two summers Jayson has played for well-known summer collegiate teams. After his junior year summer he played in the Northwood’s League for the Willmar Stingers in Willmar, Minnesota. After Jayson’s senior year he pitched for the St. Joe Mustangs. Huett earned pitcher of the year for the St. Joseph Mustangs in 2011.  During the spring of 2012 while student teaching Jayson also worked at Hardball hitting facilities in Maryville as a pitching and hitting instructor. He also was the volunteer assistant coach for the Maryville High school baseball team as the pitching coach and first base coach.

In 2012, the St. Joseph Mustangs won the MINK North Division by 3.5 games with an overall record of 28-17 under Huett's expertise.  The Mustangs also won the MINK Championship 2 games to 1.  As a staff, the Mustangs had a team ERA of a remarkable 3.31, 28 wins, 17 losses, 6 saves, 266 strike-outs, 143 walks (almost 2-1 strike-out/walk ratio), 142 earned runs allowed, 386.2 innings pitched, 6 complete games, and 373 hits.  The St. Joseph Mustangs finished 5th in the NBC World Series in August 2012.

Huett is a remarkable talent with a burning passion for baseball.  A fiery competitor, Huett will always be on the B2R's all-time baseball team because of his rubber arm, dominating performances, and passion to win.  Huett's time as an assistant coach for Maryville High has been a tremendous plus for the local high school.  The B2R hopes Huett will return to coach at Maryville in 2013.  Regardless, at Northwest Huett was probably the most reliable and effective pitcher in the program's recent history.  In the  B2R's opinion, Huett's presence during 2010 and 2011 earned most of the Bearcat's victories those two years.  A 3-inning save was the norm for Huey.  It is clear after a very successful 2012 that Huett has a talent for coaching.  I'm not sure where Huett's future will take him, but I hope its close enough I get to go watch him.  Huett will make some school very successful if the school's administrators' have the foresight to hire him.  Count me as a big Huey fan.  The B2R tips his cap to Jayson Huett for a fine 2012 summer season.


Go Cats!!
