March 06, 2025 | Cowboy Baseball
STILLWATER – The Oklahoma State Cowboy Baseball Hall of Fame will induct its three newest members during Cowboy Baseball Alumni Weekend May 15-17 as Jason Jaramillo, Brendan McCurry and Tim Rodgers will make up the Class of 2025.
With the induction of these three standouts, the Cowboy Baseball Hall of Fame will grow to 65 members.
"We're excited to welcome Tim, Jason and Brendan into the Cowboy Baseball Hall of Fame," said OSU head coach Josh Holliday. "It's a tribute to our history of tremendous baseball to see players from three different generations inducted in this class.
"The Cowboy Baseball Hall of Fame and the amazing tradition inside this program is something we cherish, and hall of fame weekend is something we are looking forward to celebrating. I hope to see as many former players as possible return to Stillwater that weekend to celebrate our history and tradition."
Jaramillo starred for the Cowboys from 2002-04, where he was a two-time All-American catcher and earned All-Big 12 status each season, including twice being named a first teamer.
In 164 career games, the switch-hitting Jaramillo posted a .359 batting average to go along with 20 home runs and 116 RBIs. He added 38 doubles and recorded a .538 slugging percentage.
"Jason Jaramillo was a standout from day one and was one of the guys who kept the legacy of elite offensive players and future Major Leaguers alive and well in the early 2000s," Holliday said.
A native of Franksville, Wisconsin, Jaramillo was a Freshman All-American in 2002 after hitting .327 with three homers and 17 RBIs in 46 games.
As a sophomore and junior, Jaramillo blossomed into one of the Cowboys' top offensive performers, hitting .385 with nine homers, 18 doubles and 42 RBIs in 2003 and following that with a .350 average, eight homers and a team-high 57 RBIs in his final collegiate season.
Jaramillo was selected in the second round of the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft by Philadelphia with the 62nd overall pick. He made his big league debut with Pittsburgh in 2009 and played in 119 games over three seasons with the Pirates.
In 2007, Jaramillo played for Team USA in the Baseball World Cup and helped lead it to the championship.
McCurry had a record-setting two seasons in an OSU uniform in 2013 and 2014 as he blossomed into an All-American and the top closer in program history.
Over 64 career appearances, the right-hander posted a 15-6 record and 1.54 ERA, and he set OSU's career record with 27 saves. In 93 2/3 innings, he racked up 89 strikeouts.
"Brendan was one of the greatest relief pitchers in school history, and over two years he saved and won games in all kinds of ways," Holliday said. "He was unhittable as a senior and had he been able to stay healthy was on a rapid rise to the big leagues."
A two-way player as a junior, McCurry was also 6-for-36 at the plate with a home run and three RBIs.
McCurry's junior season saw him go 6-3 with eight saves on the mound while posting a 2.72 ERA in 29 appearances out of the bullpen.
As a senior, McCurry garnered First Team All-America honors with one of the most dominant seasons in program history as he turned in an OSU-record 19 saves to help lead the Cowboys to their first-ever Big 12 Conference regular season championship.
That 2014 season also saw McCurry set a then-OSU record with 35 appearances, which led the Big 12, as he allowed just two runs in 47 1/3 innings while recording a 5-0 record and 0.38 ERA.
A native of Tupelo, Oklahoma, McCurry was selected in the 22nd round of the 2014 MLB Draft by Oakland, and he played six professional seasons, including four at the Triple A level. He recorded 19 career wins and 71 saves with a 3.10 ERA and 406 strikeouts in 337 innings.
Rodgers' OSU career spanned from 1979-81 during which the righty from Bixby, Oklahoma, left his name throughout the Cowboy record book.
In 41 career appearances, 32 of those as a starter, Rodgers recorded a 21-8 record and 3.93 ERA to go along with a pair of saves. The right-hander ranks fifth on OSU's all-time list with 16 complete games; his 21 wins is one shy of the top 10.
"When you hear Gary Ward talk about Tim Rodgers and the impact he had on the early teams of Coach Ward's era, you can tell right away he was a guy who helped put Cowboy baseball back on the map as a tremendous starting pitcher and competitor," Holliday said.
In his first season in Stillwater in 1979, Rodgers went 8-1 with a 3.14 ERA, and he followed that by turning in a 6-3 record in 1980.
The 1981 season saw Rodgers help lead the Cowboys to the College World Series as he went 7-4 and tallied six complete games in 11 starts.
Rodgers was an 11th-round pick by Toronto in the 1981 MLB Draft, and he played seven seasons in professional baseball, including three at the Triple A level.
