Body Armor Titans and LIB Vexxum Tie, 2-2, in Exciting Game

by Gabe Zoda Got to speak with Brayden Soutar after the game after his 1-2 1RBI day at the plate and his 6 2/3IP, 4Ks day on the mound. pic.twitter.com/J5dwxR3bpN — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) July 21, 2021 If there was a definition of what a humid summer day feels like, this double header would be exactly it. LI Boys of Summer had some 15u action yesterday between the Body Armor Titans and LIB Vexxum.  The first game of the DH they played was close but at the end it would be the Titans taking it by a score of 3-1 but the second game is what was even more exciting and thrilling to watch.  That second game would end in a 2-2 tie but without a couple of crucial performances from a couple of players , that tie wouldn’t have happened.  After winning the first game, the Body Armor Tita...

Dylan Johnson: What Christmas Means to Me

(Editor’s Note: Dylan Johnson is a 2021 graduate of Newfield HS. He is committed to St. John’s University. He is expected to anchor the Wolverines rotation once again this season. He really came into his own in 2019 after Newfield lost their ace in the preseason which propelled him into the role of staff ace. He handled the challenge and he will be counted on to lead the charge in 2020.) The importance of Christmas to me is more than just presents and food. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. That is the reason of the season and I wouldn’t be where I am today without my faith. A tradition my family does is every Christmas Eve we go to my aunt’s house on my dad’s side of the family and celebrate. On Christmas day first thing we do is wake up and go to church and then ...

Young stud alert 🚨 Sebastian Lippman (Plainview JFK 2024) sitting 84-86 MPH pic.twitter.com/U9tkENfQ4h — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) November 8, 2020 Often times as a scout or reporter you attend a showcase or tournament and are underwhelmed with the product on the field. As a scout, it’s easy to stay quiet and walk away if you’re bored. As a reporter, you have to try to make something out of nothing. Being that I am both, I have to walk that fine line of telling the truth as a scout but generating buzz as a reporter. Other times, it’s really easy. An example of this was on November 8 at Prospect Sports for a ...

Q & A With Dylan Bruno

With the pandemic cutting short the high school playing careers for many athletes, and effecting the recruiting process for others, families have turned to alternate options to maximizing exposure. One option is attending a boarding school like IMG Academy. Many families on Long Island have the means to do so and it effectively negates the lost year of development. I spoke with Dylan Bruno, who transferred from St. Dominic to IMG Academy, this fall to see what went behind the decision and if we may see more students make similar moves. Who are some people in your life that played a big role in your baseball career? My father without a doubt. He pushed me day in and day out. He trained with me constantly and started coaching me since I was 8-years-old. He always put our team against the tou...

Dominance Continues for the 11U Body Armor Titans in a 10-2 victory over the 11U South Shore Chiefs

by Jared Valluzzi Coach Ken Noe on his teams big time victory pic.twitter.com/Ky6h2D3A4a — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) August 20, 2020 The 11U Body Armor Titans have been one of the best teams this summer on Long Island and it showed when they went into action against the South Shore Chiefs on Wednesday night. The Chiefs, who are another team that’s been solid, went into the game knowing they had to score going against a tough Titans team. They were held to two runs the first time they met the Titans but played a very tough game against them.  It was the high-powered Titans lineup up to bat in the top of the first inning. Andrew Noe the speedy lead off guy got on base via walk but would then steal second right away. Noe would eventually move over to third base on a ground out brin...

Get To Know Nick Roselli

Nick Roselli is a left-handed batter with a sweet swing and a smooth glove in the infield. More importantly, he has proven himself to be a winning ballplayer that is a menace on the base paths. He announced his verbal commitment to Sacred Heart University last week, becoming the latest 2021 grad to come off the board. I had a chance to talk to him, and here’s what he had to say…     Can you explain your experience with the college recruiting process and why you chose Sacred Heart? Tom Downey, Travis Quattrini and the rest of the Titans’ organization does a great job of making sure we play in the right tournaments with the most exposure. Every tournament we played in, there were multiple colleges at every one of our games. Coach Tuttle and Coach Robins, from Divi...

Get to Know Coltrane Calloway

One of the top players in the 2021 class came off the board yesterday. Coltrane Calloway, a junior at Bay Shore HS, committed to Seton Hall University. For those who have been following us since the Baseball on the Island days, you may be familiar with Coltrane. It was September 2016 when we covered a Body Armor vs Team Beast game at Baseball Heaven. Calloway, then on Team Beast, was the best player on the field. It was on the small field, but he threw a complete game and hit a home run, providing a glimpse into his future. It was not far-fetched to say he looked like he would be a Division-I athlete even back then. I had a chance to speak with him, and here’s what he had to say.. Can you explain your experience with the college recruiting process and why you chose Seton Hall? Now th...

Jack Carr Strikes Out 11 in 2-1 Victory for Body Armor

Final: Body Armor 2, Massapequa Redmen XXII 1 WP: Jack Carr (CG, 11 K, 4 hits, 83 Pitches) pic.twitter.com/AlupiacVEo — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) June 22, 2019 The game did not start out as planned for Jack Carr, as the hard-throwing righty allowed a first inning solo shot to Rob Manetta. It couldn’t have gone much better from that point forward. The Stony Brook-commit wound up striking out 11 batters, allowing just three more hits and needing only 83 pitches to fire a complete game in a 2-1 victory for the Body Armor Titans over Massapequa Redmen XXII in Perfect Game’s WWBA Northeast National Championship. Redmen XXII countered with Dan Meaney, a southpaw that was pounding the zone early and often. Pitching with a 1-0 lead, he was sharp and effective. He fired a 1-2...

Sean Lane Commits to Notre Dame

Sean Lane (St. Dominic) has shown some legitimate pop. And he’s only a freshman pic.twitter.com/ymE7EuKHEU — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) November 5, 2017 There’s only a handful of degrees in this country that really stand out upon graduation. With most students now getting four-year degrees, the value of a degree has begun to decrease. That is unless you go to a prestigious university such as Notre Dame. For the third time in the last four years, a Long Island baseball player has committed to Notre Dame. St. Dominic 2021 third baseman Sean Lane announced his verbal commitment earlier this week. The powerful sophomore has a chance to join Brian Morrell and Brock Murtha as local players to attend the world-renowned university. I had a chance to speak with Lane and here’s...

Kevin Bowrosen’s Bases-Clearing Triple Propels Body Armor to 3-1 Victory in Metropolitan Classic

Kevin Bowrosen (Miller Place 2020) clears the bases with a one-out triple and Body Armor takes a 3-1 lead in the fifth pic.twitter.com/p9OMHGZbAC — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) August 24, 2018 Great hitters are able to notice patterns in opposing pitchers and capitalize when they make mistakes. James Madison-commit Kevin Bowrosen (Miller Place 2020) is that caliber of hitter. And the mistake happened to be a critical one in the fifth inning with the bases loaded with his Body Armor Titans team trailing 1-0. The Miller Place infielder took a 1-1 fastball and ripped it into the left-center field alley way to score Josh Graham, Luke Orbon and Danny Corona which proved to be the difference in the game. “The pitcher was sitting outside on me the whole time so I waited on that pitc...
