Camden has a rich history of cultivating baseball talent dating back to the early parts of the 20th century.  It was not until 1971 that this talent was showcased as part of a team affiliated with Camden Central High School.  Since that time, many student-athletes have shown enough to earn themselves a shot at the next level. Former Camden Lions have found themselves part of various NAIA, JUCO, and NCAA programs over the years. Here, we highlight those former athletes.
