					<description><![CDATA[<p>This is the fifth installment of the Up Next 2020 Series which highlights the top underclassmen on Long Island. To read the previous articles, here is Josh Knoth, Ben Cohen, Andrew Koshy and Sebastian Lippman. Mount Sinai is building a powerhouse pitching staff. The Mustangs last captured the Class A County Championship in 2016 in large part to a dominant pitching staff anchored by Sam Kessler and Brandon Bonanno. They have high aspirations entering 2021 as they have numerous high-end pitchers like Miami-commit J.T. Caruso, Ithaca-commit Dan Kellachan, 6&#8217;4 Max Reichenbach and another stud 2023 RHP in Chris Batuyios. Chris Batuyios (Mount Sinai 2023) pic.twitter.com/9oqk2wWdvJ — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) March 26, 2020 Over the course of 26.2 IP in the 2020 season, the flame-throwing sophomore struck out 41 batters, allowed just seven hits an allowed 0 runs (Per Perfect Game website). That&#8217;s right, that&#8217;s an unblemished 0.00 ERA and 0.71 ERA. His fastball has touched 87 MPH which is head &#38; shoulders above the average velocity for pitchers his age. He plays for the East Coast Lumberjacks and works with pitching instructor Tyler Badamo. The former minor leaguer Badamo had the following to say about Batuyios &#8220;Over the past six years I have worked with a lot of talented pitchers of all ages. Chris Batuyios has been with me for three years and he has been an absolute pleasure to work with. His work ethic and his ability to comprehend an advanced level of instruction is truly impressive from a sophomore in high school. Chris&#8217;s consistent work both on and off the field allows him to be extremely ahead of his teammates and he is only scratching the surface of his potential. This is the type of student-athlete that has an unlimited ceiling. He has an impressive command of his three pitches, a high-caliber velocity on his fastball and strong composure, mental attitude that brings so much attention. On top of all of that, he is also a very impressive student with near perfect grades. He is hands down a college coach&#8217;s dream athlete and whoever gets him to commit is going to be very happy. I am extremely happy and excited to see what the future holds for him and I am glad to be a part of the journey.&#8221; I had a chance to speak with Chris and here&#8217;s what he had to say&#8230; Who are some people that have had a positive influence on your career? My family has had a positive influence on my career, especially my dad. My dad has been taking me to every game since I was little and he taught me how to pitch when I was young. He also taught me how to workout and get a lot stronger. Some other people that have had a positive infleucne onmy career are my coaches &#8211; Coach Reichenbach, Coach Pembroke and my old travel team coach, Coach Wally. Do you work with any private instructors? I work with my pitching coach Tyler Badamo. I have been working with Tyler for three years now and he has helped me so much in developing and he has showed me how to actually pitch. Also, he has taught me basically everything I know about pitching. If it wasn&#8217;t for him, I wouldn&#8217;t be close to where I am right now. Who are your favorite players in Major League Baseball and why? My favorite player in Major League Baseball right now is Trevor Bauer. Bauer&#8217;s my favorite because he&#8217;s one of the best pitchers and he&#8217;s a beast on the mound. Also, Bauer has a very funny and cocky personality. Mount Sinai appears loaded in the pitching staff &#8211; can you talk about some of those players and what you think the ceiling of the team is? The Mount Sinai pitching staff is stacked this year. We have Dan Kellachan &#8211; who just committed to Ithaca, Kyle Salvati, Devin Carros, JT Caruso, and my boy Max Reichenbach. All of those pitchers have great potential. The ceiling for this team is very high so hopefully we have a season this year. How have you enjoyed your time with the East Coast Lumberjacks? The Lumberjacks are like a family. Every game we play is always a high intensity close game. The team is a very competitive and high-talent team. My teammates always got my back on the field and they make every play behind me when I&#8217;m pitching. The potential this team has is crazy if we just put in the work. I can&#8217;t wait for the season next year. When did you experience your biggest jump in velocity? I experienced my biggest jump in velocity from 8th grade to 9th grade. I went from throwing 70 MPH in 8th grade to topping out at 87 MPH in the summer of 9th grade. What do you plan on working on this off-season? This off-season I&#8217;m planning on working on my off-speed pitches so I can throw them in whatever count to whatever batter I want. I also plan on getting a lot stronger especially in my lower body to generate more power when I&#8217;m pitching. What are your goals for 2021? My main goals for 2021 are mastering my off-speed pitches in game and getting up to 90 MPH. Favorite app on your phone? Instagram Favorite meal? Spaghetti and meatballs Favorite baseball experience you&#8217;ve had? I had two favorite baseball experiences. One was when I got to experience Roman Kimball pitch for us and get 17 strikeouts against the Titans and the other one was a game I played against Team Beast 2022 National. That game was in Diamond Nation and I hit major traffic so I was about 30 minutes late. Once I showed up it was the 2nd inning, so I warmed up quick and I came in in the 3rd inning with 0 outs and bases loaded and we were down by 5. I let up 1 run that inning from a passed ball and I struck out two. From there on, I shut them down going 5 innings with 10 strikeouts and only letting up 2 hits. In the 5th inning, the score was 6-3 we were still down and there was two outs and bases loaded. Josh Knoth came up and hit a crazy grand slam to put us up by 1, then I went back out and shut them down for two innings and we won it. Dream Car? Ferrari 488 Favorite vacation spot? Greece &#160;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Former All-American Tyler Badamo working his way back pic.twitter.com/PKZvMPkb3v &#151; Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) January 30, 2018 Command has never been an issue for Tyler Badamo.&#160; During his four-year minor league career, he has walked only 48 batters over 261.0 IP. That is a rate of 1.6/9 IP. Last season, he issued only 7 free passes over 70.2 IP, reaching as high as Triple-A with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Unfortunately, the velocity&#8211;which sat 91-93 MPH with an occasional 94 during his historic All-American season with Dowling College in 2014&#8211;has since faded. With the average fastball velocity in the game of baseball now up to 92 MPH, teams come to expect those numbers on the radar gun. His career, which was budding with the New York Mets through the middle part of the 2016, is now hanging in the balance because of it. After suffering a herniated disc towards the end of that season, those 94s have not shown up on the radar gun. The story is not uncommon around the game of baseball. Injuries happen and teams make business decisions, however, life has centered around baseball for the Mount Sinai native and with two young children and a wife at home, life is at a crossroads after he was released by the Diamondbacks and is currently a free agent. Fortunately, facing adversity has also never been an issue for Badamo, either. As a senior at Mount Sinai HS in 2010, he lost his father unexpectedly. He also became a father that year. Life has thrown him challenges already and he has answered the bell each time thanks to his work ethic and abilities on the mound. Watching his bullpen yesterday, it was clear he has no plans on waving the white flag. He fired a sharp bullpen to his personal catcher, but with Spring Training right around the corner and no team to play for, the frustration has set in. &#8220;If a Cy Young winner like Jake Arrieta is still a free agent with two weeks before Spring Training, how are we supposed to get jobs?&#8221; he stated. Talented players with professional experience all around the country are in the same conundrum. Teams are increasingly relying on their home grown talent and unwilling to sign players to big money contracts. For Badamo, the decision is not just a baseball one but a life decision. &#8220;It&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m living at home with mom, I have to pay rent and provide for my wife and kids,&#8221; he said. Badamo noted that he does have standing offers to play in the Atlantic League but the is focused on playing affiliated baseball. If no Major League team comes calling, there&#8217;s also another option. &#8220;I&#8217;ve considered playing internationally either in the Korean or Taiwan League. They pay good money, but it&#8217;s just tough to get in,&#8221; he said. Being that he has accrued Triple-A service time, he does have a legitimate chance of getting the call. In the meantime, the Dowling grad is working on increasing his velocity while maintaining the command that has enabled him to pitch four professional seasons. He is giving pitching lessons as well to save up money for the baseball season. He&#8217;s not panicking yet, but the free agent RHP understands the current situation he is in. While he might be down, he is not out. If we&#8217;ve learned anything about him in the past, he&#8217;s not somebody willing to give up easily.</p>

<p><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-22483 aligncenter" src="https://www.axcessbaseball.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/EastCoastJays-Logo_1-300x115.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="115"></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve considered playing internationally either in the Korean or Taiwan League. They pay good money, but it&#8217;s just tough to get in,&#8221; he said. Being that he has accrued Triple-A service time, he does have a legitimate chance of getting the call.</p>
<p>In the meantime, the Dowling grad is working on increasing his velocity while maintaining the command that has enabled him to pitch four professional seasons. He is giving pitching lessons as well to save up money for the baseball season.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s not panicking yet, but the free agent RHP understands the current situation he is in. While he might be down, he is not out. If we&#8217;ve learned anything about him in the past, he&#8217;s not somebody willing to give up easily.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>(Tyler Badamo is a 2014 graduate of Dowling College. He was selected by the New York Mets in the 24th round of the MLB Draft. He was named All-American for his tremendous season in which he compiled a stretch of 72.1 consecutive innings in which he did not allow an earned run. The following words are his own.) The biggest thing I think everyone needs to realize before I go into what I tried to focus on personally, is that the MLB draft is one of the biggest crap shoots in the world. There are thousands of potential prospects eligible for the draft each year and now only 40 rounds. You can do everything right 99% of the time and still not get drafted. There are plenty of outstanding college seniors every single year that don&#8217;t get the call to postpone the real world for a little while. The biggest thing I tried to do my senior year was to treat every single start, every chance I had on the mound as if it was a do or die situation for the scouts. To make sure that I left it all on the field that way if I didn&#8217;t get drafted I could say it wasn&#8217;t because I didn&#8217;t put everything into it. Another important factor to make sure of is the fact that your emotions are in check. No emotional responses on the mound shows that you are locked in and focused on the job at hand. This was a lesson I learned the hard way in the beginning of my college career, but in my opinion one of the best lessons I learned. Show your emotion after the last out in the 9th after dominating your opponent for however long your manager leaves you out there. There are two times I can recall my senior year that I showed emotion. The last out in the 9th inning against Franklin Pierce in regionals and when I lost my 72 1/3 unearned run streak against St. Thomas Aquinas. (Stanley Susana hit a double I believe and my emotions weren&#8217;t in anger. I believe I laughed/smiled and shook my head) Another important thing that you need to realize is that you must act as professional as possible. You can be the greatest player on your team but if the scouts don&#8217;t like your makeup and how you carry yourself on the field and if they hear things off the field there&#8217;s a very small chance a team is going to take a chance on you&#8230;. unless you throw 100 mph but if that&#8217;s the case your probably not worried about not getting drafted. Just remember that you can only control what your actions dictate. If you throw well, put up good numbers, and have the right tools with the right makeup there is a stronger chance to getting drafted. Leave it all out on the field and let the rest of it unfold on its own. Sitting at home on day three of the draft was one of the most stressful days of my life. Even though I was fortunate enough to get a call that&#8217;s only the beginning of what&#8217;s to come. The work doesn&#8217;t end it only becomes more difficult after that. It takes up more of your time and your life as crazy as that sounds for the college athletes reading this. All of your focus is on your craft whatever that might be. Just remember that there are only 750 Major League players and 1200 or so draft picks every single year. If you get the opportunity to be drafted don&#8217;t by any means think the road becomes easier. 10 hour bus trips after a night game with maybe 2 off days a month, making less money than if you were working at McDonalds. It&#8217;s not an easy lifestyle&#8230;. the reward however I can only imagine to be the greatest feeling on the planet. Best of luck to all high school and college athletes that have the chance to be drafted this year. To those who do not get the opportunity, I wish you best of luck in whatever life brings you next.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Photo Credit: Vinny Messana Dowling might have a good pitching staff, but they have an even better social media presence. For the second time in a week, they have gotten their player voted No. 1 in Baseball on the Island&#8217;s March Awards. It is not to say that Cody McPartland is not deserving&#8211;his numbers certainly jump off the page. After yesterday&#8217;s seven inning outing against Queens, he is now 2-0, having thrown 27 innings, allowed only 6 ER (2.00 ERA), 20 hits, walked eight, allowed only one XBH and held the opposition to a .208 AVG. He has done a commendable job filling in for Tyler Badamo as the ace of the Golden Lions through one month of the season. &#8220;While losing the three starters we had last year are tough to replace, myself and a few others have stepped up to the plate and got the job done,&#8221; said the Miller Place HS grad. McPartland really made a name for himself last summer pitching in the Hamptons League. In 54 IP, he allowed only 39 hits and compiled a 1.64 ERA with three victories. Hi next challenge will be shutting down the top opponents in the conference while matching up against their aces&#8211;the true test for a top-of-the-rotation pitcher. Also nominated for the award was Tyler Honahan (SBU), Jake DeCarli (LIU), Alex Brosnan (Molloy), Jonathon Mulford (AU), Tim Ingram (OW) and Josh Outsen (SJC).</p>
