by Mike Merolle (Special thanks to Metamorphosis Landscape Design for sponsoring this year’s season preview series.) Final: Bellport 7, Newfield 0 WP: Danny Rubin (CG shutout, 6 Ks) pic.twitter.com/aRKqeZR4bN — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 13, 2023 The Bellport Clippers once again finished with 10 wins (10-10 record) in their schedule last season. However, head coach Joe Murphy’s team this year has an entirely different look than last year’s.

Here’s a few that caught my eye: Nolan Comerford (Bellport 2025) Uncommitted RHP Nolan Comerford (Bellport 2025) with the best FB today at 84 MPH.

His FB sat in the low 80s and topped at 84. Additionally, he has already proven himself to be a successful pitcher at the varsity level and still has two more seasons to go. He has a really clean delivery and had the best command of any pitcher as well. Th...
