Baseball
Baseball is one of the oldest interscholastic sports at The Hill, dating back to the 1880s. The program’s history is a source of pride amongst our current players, all of whom are well aware of it and strive to continue that excellence and write their own chapter in the program’s history book. We have a good record of players moving on to play collegiately, with several also being drafted by Major League Baseball organizations.
Baseball season at The Hill officially begins in late February, and runs through the end of May. The Hill is a member of the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL), which also includes Blair Academy, The Hun School of Princeton, Lawrenceville School, Mercersburg Academy, and Peddie School. The 22-27 game schedule includes two games against each MAPL opponent, as well as a handful of non-league games against other independent schools from the Mid-Atlantic region.
The season concludes with the Pennsylvania Independent School Athletic Association (PAISAA) State Tournament, comprised of that season’s 16 best independent school teams in the state. Most of our players compete in the summer for hometown, Legion, or travel teams.
The varsity baseball diamond was completely renovated in the spring of 2011 and has been upgraded in 2015 and 2019, serving as a fine home facility that rivals those of many collegiate programs. The field features spacious, enclosed dugouts; a nine-inning electronic scoreboard; a hitting tunnel and enclosed bullpen; and a permanent fence with professional dimensions. Mercer Fieldhouse contains an indoor batting cage and pitching mounds, and is spacious enough to create a regulation infield during inclement weather.

Head Coach: Ed Turner | eturner@thehill.org
Head coach Ed Turner took over the team in 2019 after three seasons as an assistant coach. A native of the greater Philadelphia area, Turner attended St. Joseph’s Prep and played both football and baseball. On the diamond, he was a two-time First Team All-Catholic League selection and in his senior year Turner was named to the Philadelphia Daily News’ All-City First Team. Turner attended the College of the Holy Cross, where he continued his baseball career. In his freshman season, Turner was the Crusaders’ starting shortstop and leadoff hitter. He started all 42 games in his rookie season and recorded 44 hits, leading the team in walks, stolen bases, and defensive assists as the team advanced to the Patriot League playoffs. In his senior season, Turner served as a team co-captain. After graduating from Holy Cross with a B.A. in Classics in 2004, Turner returned to St. Joe’s Prep as an instructor of classics and an assistant coach of the football and baseball teams. He spent eight seasons as an assistant baseball coach, during which time the team won the Philadelphia Catholic League in 2007 and 2008, and in 2009 won the District XII Class AAAA Championship and reached the semifinal of the PIAA State Tournament.
