Who Are The Top Remaining Uncommitted 2019s?
With the weather cooling down and football season in gear, I thought it would be a good time to take a look and see which of the top seniors remain unsigned. By no means is it too late, it used to be the norm for a player to wait until the fall of their season year to decide where they will attend college. Times have changed, though, and many of the elite players have announced their verbal commitments as soon as their freshman year. Below are the best remaining unsigned 2019 grads. Pitchers Cameron Mayer, RHP Syosset Matt DiGennaro, RHP Ward Melville Chris Palmer, RHP East Islip Ethan Farino, RHP Ward Melville Bryce Grathwohl, RHP Matituck Anthony Cinquemani, RHP West Islip Justin Harvey, RHP Smithtown East Catchers Matt Yip, Herricks Alec Maag, Center Moriches Kyle Jaspers, Cold Spring H...
Catching Up With 2016 CHSAA Player of the Year Matt Martino
(Photo Credit: Vassar Athletics) Although Kyle Young and Chris Cappas were the players that generated all the headlines in 2016 in regards to the Catholic League, neither of them actually won the CHSAA Player of the Year. That’s right, that honor was bestowed upon St. Anthony’s senior 3B/RHP Matt Martino, who hit three HR and won six games for the Friars. From there, he went on to Vassar College, where he was named First Team All-Conference as a freshman. The injury bug, however, bit him quite hard. Not only did he tear his meniscus but he also went under the knife to undergo Tommy John Surgery which caused him to miss all of 2018. I had the chance to speak with him, and here’s what he had to say… What are your fondest memories of your time at St. Anthony’s? Playing...
Jason Diaz Ks 10, Drives in Run in 3-1 Victory over Chaminade
Our @DigmiNation Player of the Game is winning pitcher Jason Diaz who struck out 10 and allowed just two hits and an unearned run. He also hit an RBI single to lead the Firebirds to a 3-1 victory. #TipYourCap pic.twitter.com/1YeATNSo7Q — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 9, 2018 Jason Diaz knows his days with a baseball bat in his hands are numbered. The junior RHP is regarded as the top pitching prospect on Long Island. He verbally committed to the University of Miami during his sophomore year and more-than-likely will not get an at bat while playing in the ACC. That doesn’t mean he can’t make the most of his at bats before that moment comes. He helped himself with an RBI single in the bottom of the first against Logan Koester, in what proved to be a pitching duel betwe...
Dylan Reilly Nails Down Runner at the Plate to End Game

Holy Trinity practices “do-or-die” plays at the plate every day at practice, said the senior outfielder, so when he fielded a base hit with the potential tying-run he was not concerned. “It’s a simple play, ground ball to the outfield and you come up throwing and get the guy out at home–that’s it,” he added. The inning, though, was anything but simple for Holy Trinity. Starter Will McCarthy, a sophomore, left with a 5-1 lead, after breezing through six innings allowing just five hits and two walks against an undefeated Chaminade squad th...
