It’s hard to believe but already four weeks are in the books for the New York Baseball Academy at Hofstra University. The academy–now in its 42nd year–has been a staple in the Long Island baseball community for over 40 years.
This past week was another exciting week for the athletes, as they had special guest Mike Gaffney–current Head Coach at LIU Post–who was drafted in the 13th round in 2003 by the Kansas City Royals out of NYIT.
The Axcess Baseball Player of the Week was given to Leo Buzzeo. Below is a picture of him with the NYBA Director, John Russo.
Not to be overlooked are he recipients of the Super Hustler Award, given to the ballplayers in each group that best exemplify the characteristics of a teammate.
