Pitching coach Erin Hocker grew up in Montana where she attended Great Falls High School earning an
array of accolades. Notable among her achievements are being named the Tribune’s Northcentral
Montana Softball Player of the Year (2018), two-time Tribune Super State Softball Player, and securing
the Montana Gatorade Player of the Year Honors in 2018 after fashioning a 17-0 record and 0.79 ERA.
Hocker was instrumental in leading the Bison to an undefeated season – a historic first in Montana
Softball history.
Following her high school success, Hocker continued her softball career at Kirkwood Community College
leading her team to a commendable fourth-place finish at the National Junior College Athletic
Association Division II Tournament. Hocker’s first year of college earned her a spot on the all-tourney
team and the esteemed title of All-American. She continued her collegiate career at DePaul University,
where she made her debut during her sophomore year and concluded her collegiate career in 2022.
During her time with the Blue Demons, Hocker helped lead the team to a Big East Regular Season
Championship in 2021. Her dedication to both academics and athletics was evident in her three-year
inclusion in the Big East All-Academic Team.
