Bio

Kaycee Butt enters her first year as associate head coach for the Defiance College softball program and eighth year overall in 2019, after concluding her playing career with the Yellow Jackets in 2011. In her first two years, Butt served as a graduate assistant under Holava.
 
During her coaching career with the Jackets, Butt has helped guide the team to two Conference Tournament appearances as well as top tier finishes among the HCAC in each of its last two seasons.
 
As a player with the Jackets, Butt helped the team to two Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament Championships in 2008 and 2009 and earned All-HCAC accolades during her senior campaign. She finished the season ranked fifth on the team with 23 hits and fourth on the squad with 22 RBI. Kaycee also registered five mulit-hit games, seven multi-RBI games and led the team with 226 putouts. She posted a .324 batting average, hitting .439 in HCAC action. 
 
While at Defiance, Butt also served on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for three years, was a four-time recipient of the DC Achievement Scholarship Award and spent four years with the school’s Citizen Leader Scholarship Program, logging over 200 hours of community service per year.
 
The outstanding work on the field, in the classroom and in the community does not overshadow Butt’s coaching background. The Hilliard, Ohio native gained valuable experience while assisting with a variety of softball camps and fall leagues hosted by DC.
 
Butt graduated from the College with a degree in sport management. While serving as a graduate assistant, Butt completed a master’s degree in education.
