NCAA DI Baseball Program

The Citadel Baseball - SC

The Citadel baseball competes at the NCAA DI level in Southern Conference and is based in Charleston, SC. Campus enrollment is about 2,705 students. The published acceptance rate is 23%. Recent baseball results include 2026: 36-26. Listed coaches include James Reeves, Russell Triplett, DeWayne Kitts, David Beckley, and Lex Tuten.

The Citadel finished 36–26 overall and 11–10 in Southern Conference play (fifth), then captured the 2026 SoCon Tournament title with a 3–1 win over Samford—the program’s first league tournament crown since 2010. Russell Triplett (tenure since 2025) leads the Charleston, South Carolina, DI Bulldogs after earning the automatic NCAA bid in his second listed season. Pairing another 30-win spring with a deeper NCAA footprint is the next chapter. Families weighing a 54-player 2027 roster should treat SoCon Tournament contention as the near-term bar.
