Voorhees College

The Voorhees College baseball program is ready to begin what is to be another exciting year for the Tigers. It will be the most challenging year in recent memory, as the Tigers look to rebuilt and re-energize around a young team and young starting line-up. 

The Tigers will be represented by a host of new faces that will try to mesh around senior Arthur James, who led the 2009 team in hits and batting average. James also carried home the Most Valuable Player trophy as well Defensive Player of the Year. 

Nine new players - from areas as close as Atlanta and Jacksonville, Miami and  St. Augustine, Fla., and as far away as the Dominican Republic – will join the Tigers, which likely will mean a young starting lineup. 

Voorhees will play a tough 45-game schedule before heading into the NAIA’s new Association of Independent Institution’s Tournament in May 2010. Voorhees College will be one of several institutions competing for one of the four spots in the tournament. 

In the past the program has enjoyed some great seasons that have included capturing the Eastern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference  regular season championship in 2001 and 2002. The program  earned EIAC tournament runner-up trophies in 1991, 1992, 1994 and 1995. The Tigers were EIAC Invitational tournament champions in 2006.
