ROUNDUP: Former Sycamore signs with Cubs; Toubman RSC's Athletic Trainer of Year

Dom Krupinksi — who played the 2023 and 2024 seasons as an Indiana State Sycamore — signed a free-agent contract with the Chicago Cubs following last weekend's Major League Baseball Draft.

Krupinksi transferred to Miami (Ohio) after ISU's 2024 season under former coach Mitch Hannahs, who also left after that season for South Florida.

The 5-foot-9, 180-pound Krupinksi started eight games as an outfielder, third baseman and designated hitter in ISU's 2024 season, as the Sycamores finished 44-15 overall, won the Missouri Valley Conference title and reached the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year. His two-season batting average at ISU was .243.

He also played for the Terre Haute Rex in the wood-bat summer collegiate Prospect League.

Krupinski, a Michigan native, was a regular starter at Miami in 2025 and 2026, batting .292 with 46 runs batted in and a .514 slugging percentage.

• Pomeroy staffer tops in RSC — Saint Mary-of-the-Woods announced on Thursday that athletic trainer Stephanie Toubman had been named River States Conference Athletic Trainer of the Year.

In a press release, it was said Toubman played a critical role in the continued growth of SMWC Athletics, which has expanded to more than 400 student-athletes. During the past year, Toubman worked closely with the SMWC facilities team to help establish three new satellite athletic training areas on campus. Her efforts helped expand the department's athletic training footprint from one small space in the Knoerle Center to four spaces across campus.

"Stephanie Toubman has gone significantly above and beyond in her role at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College," Kevin Lanke, associate vice president for athletics said. "As our department has continued to grow, Stephanie has been instrumental in helping us expand our athletic training spaces, update our policies and procedures, and improve the level of care we provide to our student-athletes.

He said she's taken on every challenge with professionalism, passion and an unwavering commitment to student-athlete well-being.

"Stephanie is tremendously appreciated by our football program, our department and every student-athlete she serves," Lanke said.

The press release also stated that she researched the necessary equipment, flooring and supplies needed to establish both secondary indoor and primary outdoor athletic training facilities, while also assisting directly with the setup and installation of equipment and flooring. In addition, Toubman reviewed and revised SMWC's athletic training policies and procedures to help ensure compliance and enhance student-athlete care moving forward.
