The 5-foot-10, 170-pound senior shortstop and right-handed pitcher led the Senators to a 16-2 record and the fourth seed in the DIAA state tournament. At the time of his selection, Hutchins owned a 7-0 record on the mound, a 0.80 ERA with 53 strikeouts in 44 innings.

Hutchins also had a .525 average and a .746 slugging percentage while stealing 14 bases in 16 attempts through 17 games.

Hutchins has maintained a 92.4 average in the classroom. He has volunteered locally on behalf of Habitat for Humanity, an assisted living facility and as a peer tutor.

“Jordan Hutchins is a five-tool baseball player who can beat you in many ways,” said Dover coach David Gordon. “His defense, speed, bat and overall instincts make him the one of the best players on the field all the time. He has been a big part of our success at Dover High School for the last four years and he will go down as one of the best to wear the Senator colors.”

Hutchins has signed a National Letter of Intent to play baseball on scholarship at the University of Delaware this fall.
