It’s almost hard to fathom how far they’ve come. Back in the early days of Axcess Baseball<\/em>, The Stony Brook School<\/strong> was a League IX public school in Suffolk County, Since then, they have gone to the PSAA to now a fully-independent juggernaut.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with their Division-I commits:<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

\n
SS Aiden Ruiz<\/strong> – Vanderbilt<\/li>\n
LHP Sebastian Santos-Olson<\/strong> – Miami<\/li>\n
OF Jordan Serrano<\/strong> – Wake Forest<\/li>\n
RHP Leo Vitarelli<\/strong> – Winthrop<\/li>\n
RHP Chris Nell<\/strong> – Lehigh<\/li>\n
C Anthony DeCesare<\/strong> – Delaware<\/li>\n
2B Larry Hotaling<\/strong> – Villanova<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
That is not even considering that they have two freshmen (JuJu Martinez<\/strong> and Colin Raymond<\/strong>) that are ranked among the top players in the country in their class and another 2027, Brian Brower<\/strong>, is among the top pitchers in the state in the sophomore class.<\/p>\n
They are coming off winning the 2024 NYSAIS State Championship. They defeated Poly Prep, arguably the top team in the northeast region, by the score of 6-0, to end the state tournament, before defeating Trinity, Fieldston and Columbia Prep in succession.<\/p>\n
This season, they are forgoing the NYSAIS tournament in favor of a newly-formed playoff format among three other teams; Malverne Prep, Gloucester Academy and Poly Prep. The championship game will be at MCU Park, home of the Brooklyn Cyclones.<\/p>\n
