Nick DelVecchio went 4-for-4 with an RBI and 2 runs scored out of the leadoff spot for Holy Trinity in the 5-3 win over Kellenberg @GCsports pic.twitter.com/0Lpb3v7ZAx — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 26, 2023 Coming off yesterday’s 2-1 loss at the hands of Wake Forest-commit Andrew Koshy, Holy Trinity knew they needed to do some home cooking as they look to play for a bye in the NSCHSAA postseason. The Titans wasted zero time, putting up two runs in the first inning which was already more than they were able to compile in the previous game. They did not look, and they were able to capture the critical 5-3 win against first place Kellenberg to split the series. Kellenberg sent junior Matt Reiter to the mound against Holy Trinity’s Gabe Klaritkaitis. After a scoreles...
Kellenberg Motivated to Take Next Step
by Brian Honka Mid 3: 1-2-3 inning for Koshy. Kellenberg trails 2-0 pic.twitter.com/bVgfcDcw5y — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 20, 2022 Kellenberg comes into the season with aspirations to bring a championship home once again. They saw their season come to an end against Chaminade in the last two seasons in the CHSAA Finals. They won back-to-back titles in 2016-17. They had a great season overall finishing at 17-9. They shined on the mound with a team ERA of just under 2.00. In total, they graduated 16 players. Ryan Glupe is one of the players that had a big impact on the team who graduated as he led the team with back-to-back gems in the playoffs against St. Anthony’s and Chaminade which helped the team fight off elimination and make it to the championship. Another big-time ...
How Good is the 2023 Class of Pitchers on Long Island?
The velocity in the game of baseball right now is insane. I feel like an old man when I say when I was in high school if a kid threw 80 MPH by his junior year it was eye-opening. It probably meant he was going to gain some strength over the next year and that would turn into 85 maybe 86-87. This wasn’t in the 1950s, this was just over a decade ago. Somewhere along the line, the standard has changed. Everyone playing travel or varsity baseball seems to throw at least that hard and the players getting ‘D-1 looks’ are now in the mid-to-upper 80s’ by the time they are juniors. Now, I know that is not the be all, end al. There’s plenty of other aspects of pitching I look for, but when pitchers throw strikes and also have velocity that is a standard deviation or two...
Loaded Kellenberg Primed for Another Great Year
by Michael Anderson Kellenberg first year head coach Pat Miles led his team to a 12-3 record and the No. 1 seed entering the playoffs pic.twitter.com/fwF8YMS89e — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 28, 2021 Pat Miles left a great impression in his first year as head coach of the Kellenberg Memorial High School varsity baseball team. The Firebirds finished 12-3 and clinched the top seed in the CHSAA. Of course, it wasn’t really his first impression; at least not with his players. “I had those kids on JV… I’ve coached all those kids before. In a shortened season, it wasn’t much of a learning curve regarding my players because I’ve had them for two years for the most part. I knew exactly the kids’ weaknesses and the kids’ strengths,” said Miles. It wasn’t just the continuity from a coa...
Andrew Koshy Commits to Wake Forest
1-2-3 first inning for sophomore flame thrower Andrew Koshy. Kellenberg coming to bat. The two teams are fired up pic.twitter.com/cJNppYy8ys — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 28, 2021 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 ...
Phil Schurr’s 5th Inning HR Propels Kellenberg to Securing No. 1 Seed
Final: Kellenberg 3, Chaminade 2 WP: Andrew Koshy S: Brendan McCann Phil Schurr go-ahead solo HR and Kellenberg locks up the No. 1 seed for the postseason pic.twitter.com/FwhMqRO936 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 28, 2021 When longtime Kellenberg head coach Chris Alfalla stepped down prior to the season, there was only one person that was best-suited to take over for the program and not have them skip a beat. That person is Pat Miles, who was currently coaching at the JV level for the program and was familiar with every varsity player on the roster. That provided Kellenberg with the unique advantage that very few teams on Long Island had – a head coach with knowledge of his players. With the cancelation of the 2020 season, most varsity coaches only had minimal interaction...
Up Next Powered by The Yard Sports Academy: Andrew Koshy
Andrew Koshy (Kellenberg 2023) and Christian Alicea (St. John the Baptist 2024) combine on a strike-em-out, throw-em-out pic.twitter.com/OPBSG7ytF9 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) October 27, 2020 This is the second installment of the “Up Next” Series Powered by the Yard Sports Academy. The first featured athlete was Josh Knoth. It hasn’t even been two years since there was a high-end pitcher at Kellenberg HS and they already have another. Sophomore Andrew Koshy transferred into the school from the Mineola school district and he already is generating some buzz. The hard-throwing righty had a dominating summer for Team Francisco Notorious 9. Despite often playing against older competition, his numbers were straight out of a PlayStation. Record: 9-1 ERA: 0.58 Innings...
