AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn baseball's 2016 recruiting class was ranked fifth nationally by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper on Monday.
"The strength of this group is in the numbers," Auburn head coach Butch Thompson said. "Our inaugural class as a staff is going to lay the foundation for moving Auburn baseball back to where we all want to be. Half of the class is pitching which is important to any program. There is also balance as I believe we signed someone at every position on the field.
"With all that said, the development of this class will be key for us going forward.
