Former Wichita State pitching coach Brent Kemnitz donated $25,000 to the Eck Stadium remodeling project.
WSU is raising $2 million for the baseball stadium, part of which will fund a 10,000-square foot weight room for baseball, softball, golf and tennis athletes. The Eck Stadium dugout will move to the third-base side of the field, part of a new locker room, players lounge and offices.
The new locker-room areas will be connected to the dugout and indoor practice facility.
“I want to get people excited about this project, so I need to show I’m excited, too, by going all in,” Kemnitz said in a news release.
