Georgetown Prep Baseball
The Prep Baseball Program seeks to run a Division 1 style program in concert with the school’s academic reputation. To that end, the program has seen 51 players go on to play in college since 2011 and has 10 current players committed or signed to play in college. According to Baseball Cube, Prep is top 10 in the country for players on current Division 1 rosters. Colleges, past and present, include UVA, Notre Dame, Duke, Wake Forest, Boston College, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Virginia Tech, Maryland, and George Washington.
The Hoyas have 10 regular season IAC championships (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023) and 7 IAC tournament championships since 2011 (2012, 2013, 2015, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023. The 2019 varsity team went 31-5 and was ranked number three in The Washington Post. The 2021 team was undefeated, with a record of 14-0, and the 2022 season ended with Prep's third consecutive IAC Championship and a ranking as high as #2 in the state of Maryland and top 5 in The Washington Post.
The 2023 team was labeled an emerging dynasty by The Washington Post. This 2023 team finished with a record of 25-7, losing just one game after the IMG spring break tournament and winning 15 out of 16 to claim the 4th straight IAC championship. The team finished ranked 3rd in The Washington Post rankings and received number ONE rankings in Maryland by Prep Baseball Report and Xposure.
The schedule is routinely filled with the other best programs in the DMV and Baltimore and plays a national schedule against teams from Massachusetts to New Jersey to Florida. The program has seen multiple number one and top three rankings by Prep Baseball Report for both private school programs and all programs in Maryland.
The JV program has enjoyed extensive success as well; players that win titles at the JV level are the groundwork of the program’s achievements year over year. In the past 11 seasons, the JV team has won both the IAC regular season and tournament championship every year. Coach Venker has been the JV coach for the last six seasons and a JV coach for 11 seasons.
