It was yet another fun-filled week of baseball at the New York Baseball Academy<\/em>. There were 210 kids eager to learn from a coaching staff that has decades and decades of experience and have taught some of the top players this region has ever seen.<\/p>\n

The players had the fortune of learning from a couple of special guests.\u00a0Dave Lemanczyk<\/strong> (1979 A.L. All Star) imparted his wisdom on the young men in an insightful morning clinic and also gave batting instructions at the cages all day on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Former Long Island Ducks pitcher and LI native Brian Dorsey\u00a0<\/strong>was in charge of the pitching specials on Tuesday and also gave a fascinating speech during his clinic.<\/p>\n

In addition to learning a great deal, many of the players had awards bestowed upon them.\u00a0More important than the skill-based awards were those who were honored for their ability to actively listen and incorporate that into the games. These individuals also gave their 100 percent effort all week and never failed to hustle. Below are the winners of the \u201cSuper Hustler\u201d Award.<\/p>\n
