Our guy is back on the move!

WDC's Jake Dykhoff continues his meteoric rise through the Minor Leagues as he has been promoted to the Class AAA Norfolk Tides!

After starting the year with the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks, Dykhoff will now join his third team in the Baltimore Orioles Organization.

The 2018 WDC graduate and former University of Minnesota Crookston pitcher is now one step away from the Big Leagues.

Jake's Minor League stats this year include a 9-1 record with a 2.63 ERA. He has 59 strikeouts in 68.1 Innings pitched.

Jake is the son of Wayne and Stacey Dykhoff of rural Bluffton.

Way to go Jake! Keep chasing your dreams!

We are WDC proud of you and wish you the best of luck!
