OSU Baseball Announces Four-Member Hall of Fame Class — Lyons, Moulder, Holliday and Holt to Be Inducted in April
Legendary announcer Rex Holt and trailblazer Freddie Moulder headline H.O.F. class set to be honored during Cincinnati series
The next four inductees to the Oklahoma State baseball Hall of Fame are set.
On Thursday, OSU announced in a press release the addition of former program stars Tyler Lyons and Freddie Moulder, longtime assistant coach Dave Holliday and tenured play-by-by announcer Rex Holt into the Cowboy Baseball Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony will take place the weekend of April 3-5 during OSU’s home series against Cincinnati.
“This Hall of Fame class represents everything that is special about Cowboy Baseball,” OSU coach Josh Holliday said in the press release. “From a career-impacting coach, to a legendary voice in the radio booth, to one of the best left-handed pitchers in program history, to a trailblazer both on and off the field, this is a loaded class that has it all.”
Holt is entering his 44th season with the OSU color commentating crew, and his 31st as the full-time play-by-play man. Holt, whose time with the Cowboys commenced in 1982, has chronicled and captured a multitude of high-octane moments throughout the program’s history. In that span, he has been part of 11 College World Series appearances and 14 conference championships.
