It’s not often that an impact player is announcing his college commitment after his senior year concludes.
It took an extremely unusual circumstance, but North Babylon 1B/RHP Brian Primm announced that he will be attending Pace University in the fall.
Primm was originally committed to LIU Post, but after the merger with LIU Brooklyn, he decided–like several other 2019 grads including E.J. Exposito, Peter Schimmel, Michael Storms, Stevie Proko–to de-commit. Exposito will be attending NYIT, Schimmel will be going to St. Thomas Aquinas and Storms/Proko will go to Adelphi.
Primm had the best season out of all of them and is a finalist for the coveted Carl Yastrzemski Award next week. He went 5-0 with a 0.73 ERA on the mound over 38.1 IP. He also batted .431 with a 1.156 OPS and struck out only three times.
He is a widely-respected player for not only his production but also his leadership and intensity on the field.
Primm comes from an athletic family, his older brother was a catcher at Ithaca College and was a part of the 2009 Suffolk County Championship winning Bulldogs.
Pace is coming off a strong 2019 season. They flew under the radar due to the incredible success of other local Division-II programs such as NYIT, LIU Post and Adelphi but they went 31-15 this season.
It remains to be seen if he plays first base or pitches, but he is certainly the caliber of player that can do both.
