The 2026 season will be remembered for the unprecedented offensive output of two College of Southern Idaho baseball standouts. Crew Secrist and Trey Purser not only dominated the lineup but also rewrote the program’s record books, setting marks that will be referenced for years to come.
Breaking the mold
Secrist’s name now appears at the top of the school’s all‑time doubles list. He holds the career doubles record at 45 and the single‑season mark with 23, numbers that eclipse previous benchmarks by a wide margin. Over 107 games he posted a .381 batting average, driving in 41 runs while slugging five home runs and maintaining a .655 slugging percentage during his sophomore campaign.
His consistency earned him first‑team all‑region honors and the prestigious Region 18 Player of the Year award. The accolades reflect not just raw power but a disciplined approach at the plate that has become a model for younger teammates.
Purser, meanwhile, carved his own niche in the record books with three distinct achievements. He sits atop the career home‑run list with 27, posted the highest slugging percentage in school history at .814, and set the single‑season home‑run record with 21. A highlight of his sophomore year was a three‑home‑run outburst against Salt Lake Community College, a performance that underscored his capacity to change games in an instant.
Recognized as a Region 18 first‑team selection, Purser’s blend of power and precision has drawn attention from across the country. He will continue his collegiate career at Colorado Mesa University, where coaches expect his bat to remain a central pillar of the lineup.
Both players have committed to Division I programs: Secrist to Texas A&M Corpus Christi and Purser to Colorado Mesa. Their transitions mark the next phase of a journey that began on the Twin Falls campus and will now unfold on larger stages. The impact of their records extends beyond personal achievement, signaling a strengthening pipeline of talent from the College of Southern Idaho to national competition.
