Robin Ventura will join Oklahoma State as a student assistant. Ventura played at OSU from 1985 to 1988 before a 16-year MLB career as a player and a five-year career as the Chicago White Sox’s manager.
“Robin Ventura will enhance the lives of our players — his experiences inside the game of baseball as a college player, major league player and major league manager provide rare and unique perspective to all of us inside the program,” said OSU head coach Josh Holliday in a statement.
