The Daniel Webster baseball program has tabbed Alex Hill to serve as Assistant Coach. The announcement was made by Eagle Head Coach J.P. Pyne.

“I am extremely happy that Coach Hill will be joining the program. He possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience that will benefit our players immediately. Alex is a tireless worker, tremendous recruiter, and a loyal friend. Alex will be responsible for working with our pitchers, and I am confident that his impact on the program will be felt from day one.”

"I am very excited to be a part of the DWC baseball program,” said Hill. “Coach Pyne and the entire athletic program is committed to creating a winning program and I’m excited to be part of the process to help build the Eagle baseball program into one of the best in New England."
