(Editor’s Note: This is the sixth installment of our “College Recruiting 101 Powered by 1 More Rep Athletics & Fitness” in which we delve into the world of college baseball recruiting. In the first edition we spoke to five fathers who sent their sons to Division-I programs. In the next edition, we spoke to three fathers who are also coaches that had to navigate through the pandemic. In the third edition, we spoke with Glenn Petraitis, who had two sons go through the college recruiting process and is an Emmy-award winning Sports Producer for MSG and NBC Olympics. His younger son, AJ, is a freshman at Le Moyne College. Next, we spoke with George Mason University assistant coach Matt Marsh, who is a Long Island native about his process of recruiting players.

It ended a back-and-forth affair in which the Privateers erased an early 2-0 deficit. Ryan Serrato (3-for-3) hit a two-run shot off Privateers’ ace Travis Bruinsma in the first inning to open up the scoring. Bruinsma settled in after that, firing shutout ball for the next three innings which allowed his offense to come back. In the second inning, Jake Vera grounded out to score Shane Sullivan to cut the deficit to 2-1. An unearned run in the third inning ...
Brian McLaughlin Caps Decorated Career With a Legion of Awards
Coming out of St. John the Baptist, Brian McLaughlin was more than capable at playing at many major baseball programs. He spent four years playing under one of the brightest baseball minds on the island in John Habyan and had the type of power that coaches fawn over. He knew, however, that someday baseball might not always be there for him. He decided to go to the school that not only offered him the best chance to pursue a career in engineering, but where he could also play baseball so he chose SUNY Maritime. “I don’t regret a single day that I spent there,” he said in regards to his decision. “There was some good schools but Maritime represented something different. I knew it was the best option,” he added. He is coming off a decorated career in which he re-...
Maritime Loaded With Arms, Ready to Shock the Skyline Conference
After watching their practice tonight, it was stunning how far along the Maritime program has come. Coach Charlie Barbieri has a team ready to compete for a championship this season. “In terms of pitching this is the best group we have ever had,” said the third-year Head Coach. “And it’s not even close,” he added. Having graduated only one player from last year’s team that compiled an 11-5 Skyline Conference record, the Privateers would’ve been in good shape regardless of how strong their incoming class of freshmen and transfers. Then they received a huge boost with the transfers of Travis Bruinsma and Matt Buckshaw as well as incoming freshmen such as Hunter Kaucky, Matt Paghidas and Luciano Besh. They join an already-talented staff of Alex Poliwo...
