ELON, N.C. — Elon head baseball coach Mike Kennedy announced Tuesday the hiring of Lincoln Hewett as a volunteer assistant coach.
 
"We are excited to have Lincoln join the Elon Baseball family," Kennedy said. "His passion and energy for the game and teaching it will be an asset to our program. I believe Lincoln has a bright future in this profession, and we are excited he has chosen to come on board."
 
No stranger to the Triad, Hewett comes to Elon after a two-month stint as the hitting coach and recruiting coordinator at his alma mater, Greensboro College. Before that, he held the same role for three years at Pfeiffer University, where he worked with the Falcons' hitters and outfielders.
 
Hewett also served as the hitting coach for the Coastal Plain League's High Point-Thomasville HiToms in the summer of 2021. Under his direction, the HiToms led the CPL in home runs and total bases and ranked second and third, respectively, in runs and RBIs.
 
A 2019 graduate of Greensboro College, Hewett hit .335/.406/.513 with a team-best 48 RBIs en route to all-conference and ABCA/Rawlings All-South Region third-team honors as a senior. He also played two years at South Georgia State College.

A Gainesville, Ga., native, Hewett played high school baseball at North Hall, where he was named to the all-region and all-area teams three times and the Under Armour Preseason All-America team twice.
