Most decent HS players can't play at good D3 baseball programs, which Haverford certainly qualifies for.
I have no dog in this fight and I've never seen a Centennial Conference game, but Haverford was 3rd in the conference in 2019 (Prior years they were 5th, then 2d two years in a row before that.)
Seriously though: Since Johns Hopkins is 2x or more larger than the other schools in the conference, I take it they are the proverbial 300 lb. gorilla. Are the others perennially playing catch-up?
Correct with an overall record for 5 yrs of about .500 baseball. They are solid team but not top tier. If you don’t get to see a lot games you might be suprised what is out there.
Old School, I hope it was clear I was just kidding around with my comment about Haverford's conference record. I like the college, but I know next to nothing about the baseball program other than that I hear good things about the HC and I know they have a number of alumni in MLB front offices.
I'm curious though: When you say I might be surprised what is out there--do you mean surprised positively or negatively (by the level of play, I think you mean? or something else?)? I have seen almost no D3 baseball, so I really don't know what to expect.
