DSS/Kinheim is a baseball team in Haarlem, the Netherlands that competes in the Honkbal Hoofdklasse. The team is a combination of two Haarlem sports clubs, DSS and Kinheim, which merged in 2020 after DSS had defeated Kinheim in a promotion/relegation playoff. DSS, however, faced financial difficulties staying in the top Dutch baseball league.[1] The team plays at Pim Mulier Stadium in Haarlem.
Former Kinheim manager Michael Crouwel was DSS/Kinheim's first manager.[2] He was replaced by Etienne Meijer on 27 October 2022.[3]
The combined club played its first game on 23 July 20220, a 4–3 win over Hoofddorp Pioniers.[4][5] The 2020 season was delayed and shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6][7] The team scuffled in its first season, finishing in seventh place out of eight teams in the regular season. However, the team finished first in the "bottom four" pool.[8]
In the 2021 season, DSS/Kinheim finished in fifth place and again won the "bottom four" pool.[9] Outfielder Jason Jakobus tied for the league lead with four triples.[10] The next season was a repeat, with the team again placing fifth in the regular season and winning the now-expanded "bottom five" pool in 2022. The team lost all five of its wildcard and placing round playoff games.[11] Catcher Koen Halderman led the league with a .379 batting average and was in the top five in doubles, runs batted in, and on-base and slugging percentages.[12] He won the league's Best Hitter award.[13][14]
On 20 April, 2023, three DSS/Kinheim pitchers combined for a no-hitter in a high-scoring 12–4 victory over RCH-Pinguïns.[15] The team finished the 2023 regular season in sixth place, followed by a second place finish in the "bottom five" pool and a 1–2 record in the bottom wildcard play-off.[16]
In the 2024 season, DSS/Kinheim finished advanced to the "top four" pool, finishing the first portion of the regular season in fourth place, three points clear of the lower pool.[17] In August, the two clubs, DSS and Kinheim, announced a change to their operating agreement beginning in 2025, with Kinheim fielding a team in the Hoofdklasse and DSS having a team in the lower Eerste Klasse.[18] The club's first season in the "top four" pool went poorly, with 3 wins and 23 losses and a negative 113 run differential.[19]
