Following a heartbreaking NCAA Regional extra-innings exit in Athens, Ga. to u[sic]GA last May, the Jackets coaching staff and players worked hard throughout the offseason to prepare for a deeper postseason run. While much of the hype surrounds sophomore center fielder Drew Burress because of his stellar play last year, nearly breaking the single season home run record and winning freshman of the year in all of college baseball, many underestimate the strong recruiting class that head coach Danny Hall brought in through both the transfer portal and high school.
Hall’s 2024 high school recruiting class finished as number two overall according to Perfect Game, featuring 22 high school commits and three top 100 athletes.
