Baseball Finishes 19-0; Coach Pollard Provides Insight into Success

The Austin Prep Baseball Team closed out the 2024 campaign with a perfect 19-0 record following victories this week over Phillips Andover and Buckingham Browne & Nichols. This year’s unblemished record brings the current unbeaten streak to 31 games dating back to the 2023 season. In 2024, the baseball team outscored opponents 182-32, with a team batting average of .515 and a team ERA of 1.48.

For this year’s senior class, it was an amazing run of success, with a four-year career record of 82-6, back-to-back (2023 and 2024) Massachusetts preseason #1 rankings, a #24 national ranking in 2022, and perhaps most notably, the 26-0 2022 season which culminated with the capturing of the 2022 MIAA Division 3 State Championship.

Congratulations to all those involved in the Austin Prep Baseball program for a tremendous year, and a special thank you to the Class of 2024.
