ST. PAUL, Minn. – Concordia-St. Paul head baseball coach Neil Lerner has announced the addition of six prep recruits in the 2022 signing class.
 
The class includes four signees from Minnesota and a pair from Wisconsin with four pitchers and two position players.
 
Lerner on recruiting class: "We are both proud and excited to announce our 2021 recruiting class. We believe that these student-athletes will be a great fit to our program and will contribute to the ongoing success that we have had on the field, in the classroom and in the CSP community. We look forward to working with them over the next several years and helping them develop as students, baseball players and people. Assistant coach Jeff Fasching, in cooperation with our staff, did an amazing job identifying and bringing in extremely talented baseball players and, more importantly, quality people during a very challenging time for recruiting. Our class is pitcher heavy, providing us with additional depth to our pitching staff, including some that will have the chance to make an immediate impact on the mound as freshmen. Our two position players have the ability to play multiple positions as both are great athletes with impressive work ethics.  All in all, we are thrilled to add these six players to our Golden Bear baseball family."
