Meaning we\u2019re going to be tracking balls, cutting balls off, good range in the infield and base-running.\u201d The Mustangs will open their season on March. 25, at Kings Park. \" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.axcessbaseball.com\/2024\/02\/03\/ryan-pembroke-takes-over-as-mount-sinai-head-coach\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Axcess Baseball\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/axcessbaseball\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-02-03T10:54:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.axcessbaseball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/8J0A6293.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2048\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1152\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Vinny Messana\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@axcessbaseball\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@axcessbaseball\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Vinny Messana\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"5 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.axcessbaseball.com\/2024\/02\/03\/ryan-pembroke-takes-over-as-mount-sinai-head-coach\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.axcessbaseball.com\/2024\/02\/03\/ryan-pembroke-takes-over-as-mount-sinai-head-coach\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Vinny Messana\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.axcessbaseball.com\/#\/schema\/person\/f547cb10f01b2dcfa9613585604f881f\"},\"headline\":\"Ryan Pembroke Takes Over as Mount Sinai Head Coach\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-02-03T10:54:50+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.axcessbaseball.com\/2024\/02\/03\/ryan-pembroke-takes-over-as-mount-sinai-head-coach\/\"},\"wordCount\":1069,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.axcessbaseball.com\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.axcessbaseball.com\/2024\/02\/03\/ryan-pembroke-takes-over-as-mount-sinai-head-coach\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.axcessbaseball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/8J0A6293.jpeg\",\"keywords\":[\"2024 Season Previews\",\"Bennie Franquiz\",\"Chris Batuyios\",\"JT Caruso\",\"Mount Sinai\",\"Ryan Pembroke\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Archive\",\"NEWS\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.axcessbaseball.com\/2024\/02\/03\/ryan-pembroke-takes-over-as-mount-sinai-head-coach\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.axcessbaseball.com\/2024\/02\/03\/ryan-pembroke-takes-over-as-mount-sinai-head-coach\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.axcessbaseball.com\/2024\/02\/03\/ryan-pembroke-takes-over-as-mount-sinai-head-coach\/\",\"name\":\"Ryan Pembroke Takes Over as Mount Sinai Head Coach -

We lost in the semi-finals to Sayville for the conference championship in extra innings. It was a tough way to lose, but it was a good experience for the returners who are coming back this year.\u201d Mount Sinai entered the 2023 playoffs as the No. 8 seed. Following a loss in the playoffs opening game against Bayport-Blue Point, the Mustangs took two straight games, taking down both ESM and Rocky Point before the loss to Sayville. \u201cWe were road warriors.\u201d Pembroke said. \u201cWe were on the road all four games, which is never easy but we did have the pitching to make a run.\u201d The Mustangs will be charging into the 2024 season after losing four pitchers who were major parts of the program over the last few seasons. All four of them graduated in 2023, and are now playing college baseball. Those include Chris Batuyios, who is now pitching at St. Johns. JT Caruso is now at the University of Miami. Max Reichenbach, now at Mercy, and Jacob Rentz, now at Herkimer. \u201cThey were the mainstay of the pitching staff for years.\u201d Pembroke said. \u201cWe\u2019re obviously replacing four good arms, which is always tough. But that also makes it exciting as well.\u201d With the losses, the returners will need to step up. Junior Benny Franquiz, Army-commit, was one of the first names that came to Pembroke\u2019s mind when asked who would be the big impact players for his team this season. Despite being a junior, this will be Franquiz\u2019s fourth varsity season, having been on the team since eighth grade with their Long Island Championship winning team. Season stats for Mount Sinai sophomore Bennie Franquiz (11 games) 23-for-35 (.657 AVG), 15 runs, 19 RBIs, 6 doubles, 10 BBs, 0 Ks, .717 OBP, .828 SLG, 17 stolen bases pic.twitter.com\/RDDmdtXBB6 \u2014 Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) April 22, 2023 \u201cHe\u2019s our leader.\u201d Pembroke said. \u201cHe\u2019s one of our captains. He\u2019s the guy that sets the tone for us as a team. And he really has for the last couple of years, even though he\u2019s been a younger guy. He plays at a premium position at shortstop and he plays it as well as anybody, he’s a phenomenal, phenomenal defender.\u201d As effective as Franquiz is in the field, he is just as dangerous at the plate. Last season as a sophomore, Franquiz hit .500, had eight doubles, 30 RBIs, and was named both All-League and All-County. Perhaps the most impressive accomplishment for Franquiz was his strikeouts, or, lack thereof. In 94 plate appearances, Franquez only struck out once. \u201cHis bat-to-ball skills are incredible,\u201d Pembroke said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s been like that ever since he\u2019s been on varsity. For us, we\u2019re expecting Benny to \u201cBe Benny.\u201d Nothing more, nothing less. He\u2019s gonna go out there every day, play hard, play elite defense, and have quality AB after quality AB.\u00a0 While hardly a varsity veteran, Nate Castro made his mark on the Mustangs in 2023, his first season on varsity. In 2023, Castro hit .440, had 20 RBIs, two doubles, and only struck out six times in 100 plate appearances.\u00a0 \u201cNate was huge for us.\u201d Pembroke said. \u201cFirst year varsity player, you never know what you\u2019re going to get. He earned everything he got. To put up the numbers he did as a first year varsity player in our league where we\u2019re always facing good teams and good pitching, kind of tells you a lot about him.\u201d Along with Franquiz, Castro, the Mustang’s third baseman, creates a very strong left side of the infield for the Mustangs this season. Queens-commit Andrew Yanez, will be a key component in Mount Sinai\u2019s new-look rotation.\u00a0 \u201cEven though [Yanez] didn\u2019t get a lot of innings last year, he threw a lot for his summer team.\u201d Pembroke said. \u201cWe have big expectations for him on the mound.\u201d Andrew Yanez (Mount Sinai 2024) commits to Queens College @USG_Baseball pic.twitter.com\/2kZYSqIE5B \u2014 Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) September 25, 2023 Junior Mark Fazio was also cited by his coach as a potential impact pitcher in 2024.\u00a0 \u201c[Fazio] was really big for us in the playoffs.\u201d Pembroke said. \u201cHe threw twice in the playoffs out of the ‘pen in high-leverage situations and he was absolutely outstanding. He threw at Bayport-Blue Point and Sayville, which are two very tough environments, but he grabbed the bull by the horns and was outstanding.\u201d Left-handed hitting senior \u200b\u200bJacob Schneider drew praise from his coach for his strong arm and power at the plate. Sean Flannery was another key piece for the Mustangs a season ago, hitting over .300 while also possessing strong defensive and pitching versatility. Mount Sinai is also getting back both of their catchers James Trepiconne and Ralph Passentino.\u00a0 In terms of key newcomers, Pembroke mentioned sophomore Jake Zabbara, who is a pitcher who was on JV a season ago. \u201cHe\u2019s a guy who will definitely be in the mix for one of the spots in the rotation.\u201d Pembroke said. \u201cHe\u2019s a left-handed pitcher, a kid that competes, has a tremendous work ethic and a guy we\u2019re excited about not only for this year, but for years to come.\u201d For the Mustangs, defense reigns supreme, as that is what coach Pembroke cited as the strength of his team this season. \u201cWe\u2019re going to play D.\u201d Pembroke said. \u201cWe\u2019re really strong up the middle, we take pride in our defense. And we\u2019re going to be fast. We have very good on-field speed. Meaning we\u2019re going to be tracking balls, cutting balls off, good range in the infield and base-running.\u201d The Mustangs will open their season on March. 25, at Kings Park.
