LHU: Baseball announces 2022 recruiting class

LOCK HAVEN, PA – The Lock Haven University baseball team and head coach Heath “Smoke” Stover are set to welcome the incoming recruiting class of 2022.

Stover and the Bald Eagles welcome 14 new student athletes to The Haven, all of whom have signed a National Letter of Intent, have been accepted and/or have enrolled at Lock Haven University.

“This incoming class is loaded with talent and it will add a ton of depth to our program,” said Coach Stover. “I am looking forward to working with these young men and watching them grow and develop here at The Haven.”

For LHU, 2022 will mark the sixth year with Stover at the helm and the incoming group of Bald Eagles will look to make an immediate impact in the push for a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) playoff spot.
