Hampden-Sydney College (H-SC) baseball head coach Jeff Kinne has announced his incoming recruiting class. The class is ranked 19th in NCAA Division III by Perfect Game USA.

The Tigers have the top-ranked class in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) and the second-highest ranked recruiting class in Virginia, according to Perfect Game.

“The coaching staff is very excited about this group of freshmen,” Kinne said. “We all feel this is a strong group on and off the field. The team lost a lot of talented seniors in 2020, but these freshmen will certainly help fill the void. Coach (Robbie) Bailey and Coach (Billy) Catron worked exceptionally hard to bring in a strong class. We are excited to see what they can do for the next four years.”
