A seven-year SEC veteran and five-year SEC baseball veteran, Fadde joined Mizzou Baseball in a newly-created position in 2018, serving as the Director of Player Development.

Fadde served as a Graduate Assistant for Purdue University Football under the late Joe Tiller after a successful playing career. He earned his M.S. degree from Purdue while developing a video based linebacker training system that the Boilermakers utilized in their game week preparations.
Prior to Purdue, Fadde earned a B.A. degree from the University of Southern Indiana where he was a Friday night starting pitcher. He led the Screaming Eagles staff in strikeouts and innings pitched for two seasons following a two year stint as a starting pitcher at Rend Lake Community College in Ina, Illinois.
Originally from West Lafayette, Indiana, Fadde is married to the former Lindsey Liddicoat. The couple have three children, Reagan, and twins Mason and McKenzie. His father, Peter, is the Chief Science Officer for GameSense Sports pitch recognition technology and sister, Elizabeth Monaghan, played softball for the University of Kentucky.
