St. Joseph’s Seeking Three-Peat in Skyline Conference
(Special thanks to Metamorphosis Landscape Design for sponsoring this year’s season preview series.) From 2008-2014 the Skyline Conference went through Farmingdale State College as the Rams captured 7 consecutive titles. Since that time. St. Joseph’s LI has won it four times, while no other program has won it more than once. 2015 – Old Westbury 2016 – St. Joseph’s 2017 – Maritime 2018 – St. Joseph’s 2019 – Farmingdale 2020 – N/A 2021 – Merchant Marine Academy 2022 – St. Joseph’s 2023 – St. Joseph’s Tom Caputo took over as Head Coach following the 2022 season, and he led them to a 30-11 season, as they defended their title and made another appearance in the NCAA Regionals. Following the season, his mes...

That was the case for St. Joseph’s University after winning the Skyline Conference Championship on Sunday. Their win over SUNY Maritime marked the Golden Eagles’ second straight title and 4th in 7 seasons (2016, 2018, 2022, 2023). The action in the game would start up in the top of the 2nd inning for St Joseph’s, scoring four in the frame. John Lynch led things off with a double to left center field. James Maggio would drive him in and replace his spot at second with a double of his own, scoring the game’s first run. The Golden Eagles would keep the scoring going...
Andrew Aschettino Joins St. Joseph’s Coaching Staff
One year after stepping away from high school baseball with a County Championship, Andrew Aschettino is back. The 17-year Head Coach of Rocky Point has joined an already sterling coaching staff St. Joseph’s College to be the first base coach. The staff features Head Coach Rick Garrett, former Dowling Head Coach Tom Caputo and assistant coach Joe Benkert. “It was always a goal of mine,” said Aschettino. “It was always in the back of my mind to face a different type of challenge or opportunity. I don’t know if I thought it would be immediate. But Tom Caputo was one of my first assistant coaches at Rocky Point and we’ve been friends over 20 years. Rick being a friend as well, it happened pretty quick,” he added. While this may seem like an insignifica...
Tom Caputo New Assistant Coach at St. Joseph’s College
In a pretty surprising move, St. Joseph’s Head Coach Rick Garrett announced that former Dowling Head Coach Tom Caputo will be his new assistant coach, replacing Paul Parsolano. Caputo is widely considered to be one of the best hitting coaches on Long Island and was able to galvanize a Dowling roster that began the season 3-11 and led them to winning the ECC Championship in 2016. They also were on the verge of a Division-II World Series appearance in 2014. When he was the guest on the Axcess Baseball Podcast, I came away with the impression that while he missed the success he had at Dowling and the impact he had on the lives of young men, that he was content with where he was at in life. Things change of course, and he is now back in the college game. This is bad news for opposing man...
