This week was an especially exciting one for the New York Baseball Academy (NYBA) at Hofstra University. New Head Coach Frank Catalanotto – longtime Major League veteran who was named Head Coach of the Pride last month was the special guest at the morning clinic, I can’t imagine a better way for a young baseball player to learn than from someone of Catalanotto’s pedigree.
Additionally, the recipient of the Axcess Player of the Week was Louis Gounaris. Here he is pictured with NYBA Director Mike McCabe (left) and Bob O’Brien (right).
