Koch Diamond is a baseball venue in St. Paul, Minnesota, United States. It is home to the St. Thomas Tommies baseball team of the NCAA Division I Summit League. The field opened in 2006 and is named for the former St. Thomas pitcher David Koch.[1]

[edit | edit source]The park is located along Cretin Avenue in the Union Park neighborhood of St. Paul. The outfield is also used as both a football and soccer practice facility, which results in the centerfield fence being the deepest in all of college baseball, at 465 feet.[2]
Naming
[edit | edit source]David Koch, for whom the venue is named, pitched for the St. Thomas baseball program in 1952.[3]
