CHARLESTON, S.C. – College of Charleston baseball head coach Chad Holbrook announced the addition of 2018 Hall of Fame inductee Lee Curtis to his staff Thursday as an assistant coach.
Â
Curtis returns to The College after two seasons as an assistant with USC Sumter. With the Fire Ants, Curtis worked with hitters, infielders and outfielders.
Â
"We are so excited to add one of our all-time greats to our coaching staff," said Holbrook. "Lee Curtis is one of the greatest Cougars of all time. He's a Hall of Famer and he knows what being a Cougar is all about. He has an abundance of knowledge, and our players will benefit greatly from him. He's also a tireless worker who will jump right in the foxhole with our players. I'm just so happy for our current players, our former players and our entire program!"
Â
Inducted into the College of Charleston Athletics Hall of Fame in 2018, Curtis hit .404 in his two years with the Cougars from 2002-03, which remains as the program's all-time career mark. A two-time SoCon Player of the Year, Curtis also earned Collegiate Baseball and National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association All-American honors both seasons.
Â
In 2003, Curtis batted .399 while recording 26 doubles, 11 triples, 11 home runs, 64 RBI and 20 stolen bases: the only player in college baseball that year to have double-figure totals in all five statistical categories. Following the campaign, Curtis was selected in the eighth round of the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft by the Boston Red Sox.
Â
"I am incredibly grateful to Coach Holbrook for believing in me and giving me this opportunity to be a Cougar again," said Curtis. "I'm excited to work with the baseball program that has been in my heart since I first stepped on that field 23 years ago. I'm also very thankful for Coach Tim Medlin at USC Sumter for giving me the opportunity to step back into baseball."
Â
Charleston begins the 2026 season Feb. 13 at Patriots Point versus Rutgers. Fans can purchase season tickets to all 31 home games for just $175 by visiting cofcsports.com/tickets or contacting the ticket office at (843) 953-2632 or athleticstickets@cofc.edu.
