Dakota Joggerst: Elevating His Game at Southeast Missouri State in 2026

2023 Dakota Joggerst - Eureka Post 177 (SS, 3B, RP) - 11 innings pitched • surrendering 1 Earned Run.

Dakota Joggerst is on the move to Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO). The Eureka Post 177 standout and former Truman State University player is poised to bring his competitive edge to the Redhawks.

Dakota's journey began in Eureka, Missouri, where he honed his skills with American Legion Post 177, a program known for producing disciplined and skilled ballplayers.

During his time with Eureka Post 177, Joggerst was more than just a player; he was a leader who thrived under pressure. Whether it was delivering a clutch hit or making a game-changing play in the field, he developed a reputation for stepping up when it mattered most. These qualities would follow him to Truman State, where he continued to build. At Truman State, Joggerst quickly established himself as a cornerstone of the Bulldogs’ lineup for 2 seasons.

Joggerst’s transfer to SEMO represents a significant step up in competition and visibility. The Redhawks, under the guidance of head coach Andy Sawyers, have built a reputation for developing talent and competing at a high level in the OVC. SEMO’s program, which has produced several MLB draft picks in recent years, offers Joggerst a platform to showcase his skills against some of the best mid-major programs in the country.
