Elon University Athletics

Lincoln Hewett was named a volunteer assistant coach of the baseball program in October 2022, as announced by head coach Mike Kennedy.

In his debut season in 2023, Hewett helped lead the Phoenix to three top-25 victories, including wins over No.2 Wake Forest and No.9 Campbell at Latham Park. During his first season with the Phoenix, seven Elon players were selected to the CAA all-conference team. With Hewett, Elon matched their highest win total since 2019 with 33 victories including a second-place finish in the conference. 
 
"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 came 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.
