The University of South Carolina's baseball recruiting class has been ranked No. 2 in the nation by Collegiate Baseball on Tuesday.

The class consists of 19 newcomers.

"We are very excited for this year's recruiting class," South Carolina head coach Chad Holbrook said in a release. "It is a deep group of newcomers with some of the top prep players in the country, as well as a group of standout junior college players. Eight of the 19 newcomers have been selected in the MLB Draft and we had several players turn down six-figure signing bonuses to come to school."
