HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Southern Miss baseball coach Scott Berry announced Thursday the addition of Tim Lynch of Jupiter, Fla., during the spring signing period for the 2013 season.
The 6-foot-2, 215 lb., infielder attends Dwyer High School and plays for coach Frank Torre and has seen action at first base, third base and catcher.
"Tim comes to us as a power-hitting left-handed hitter from Florida," said Berry. "He can play on the corners in the infield as well as in the outfield. His swing from the left side has the ability to give us power in the middle of our lineup. We look forward to having Tim start our program as a freshman."
Lynch was a 2nd team All-Florida region preseason selection by Rawlings/Perfect Game heading into the 2012 season. He is playing in the in PalmBeachHighSchoolBaseball.com senior game later this month. Leading into the school's district tournament last week, Lynch was hitting .357 with 7 home runs and 21 runs batted in.
Lynch joins Sean Buchholz (Carpentersville, Ill./ John A. Logan, RHP), Zachary Byrd (Jackson, Miss./Murrah HS, RHP), Conor Fisk (Brown Deer, Wis./Wabash Valley College, RHP), A.J. Glasshof (Sugar Land, Texas/San Jacinto JC, LHP) and right-handed pitcher/middle infielder Jake Winston (Vidalia, La./Trinity Episcopal, RHP/INF) for the Golden Eagles for next season.
