A dominant presence on the diamond from 1994–96, Randy Perry transferred from Huron University and quickly became a cornerstone of Mount Marty’s baseball program. A true “five-tool” athlete, Perry was a two-time team captain and MVP who helped lead the Lancers to an SDIC Championship in 1996, the program’s inaugural season in the conference. During his three-year career, the Lancers posted a remarkable 101–38 record.
Perry is also a member of the 1994 Hall of Fame Team, inducted in 2024. That team holds the distinction of the longest winning streak in program history with 23 consecutive wins.
As a versatile outfielder and everyday heart-of-the-lineup hitter, Perry rewrote the record books. He set and reset the single-season stolen base record with 25 in 1995 and 33 in 1996 (still the school record), while batting .419 and .443 in those seasons, respectively. His 1996 campaign also included a school-record 59 runs scored and 66 hits in just 43 games.
Known for his clutch performances, Perry delivered several memorable moments: a wooden bat home run at Dakota State, multiple playoff homers, two grand slams and two homers in the Metrodome, and a 4-for-4 effort in his final home game with two doubles and a grand slam.
For his excellence, Randy was named 1st Team to the NAIA Midwest Region North Independent All-Sectional Team in 1995 and 1st Team to the All-SDIC (1996). As mentioned previously, he was a member of the 1994 Lancer baseball team that was inducted into the Mount Marty Hall of Fame in 2024. After college, he played professionally in Minnesota (1996) and Europe (2002).
Off the field, Perry was inducted into Phi Alpha Theta and the U.S. Achievement Academy, reflecting his commitment to academic and leadership excellence. He earned four degrees, including a B.A. in Social Science from Mount Marty, an MBA, and dual master’s degrees in Management and National Resource Strategy.
A Bronze Star recipient and All-Army Gold Medalist, Perry served on the HQDA Staff at the Pentagon and was featured in The Wall Street Journal and Forbes in 2023. He was also recognized as a Top Regional Executive by Marquis Who’s Who.
Randy resides in Sterling, VA with his wife of 26 years, Susanne, a dual citizen of Germany. As he retires from a 25-year federal government career in April 2025, Perry remains active in his community as a mentor, coach, and 32nd Degree Mason, supporting causes like Tunnels to Towers and maintaining memberships in Alpha Chi, Golden Key, and Phi Alpha Theta.
