One of the top pitchers on Long Island is off the board. Kellenberg stud RHP Andrew Koshy announced his verbal commitment to Wake Forest late last night.
Koshy was called up to varsity last season as a sophomore for the Firebirds. Truthfully, it was a no-brainer. Koshy would’ve posed a safety issue to JV hitters. He was sitting in the mid 80s last year, and since that time he has only improved. He’s now touching 90 and has a filthy slider to accompany it.
We featured him as part of our “Up Next” series last November following his breakout season for Team Francisco Notorious 9 in which he went 9-1 with a 0.58 ERA. He participated in our Leiderman Cup game back in August which pitted the top players from LI vs NYC.
For this season, he will anchor the Kellenberg stand presumably along with Brendan McCann, Steven Hardiman and John Kwiatowski,. That gives them a quartet of formidable pitchers – including three lefties.
Additionally, he can also play a strong third base and has plenty of pop in his bat. It is a huge moment for Andrew and his family.
