Coach’s Insight: “Our expectations for the 2024 season is just like any other year. First, win our league. Second, go into the playoffs with everyone healthy and peaking at the right time. From past experiences, you might have been the best team in the regular season, but you have to play the best in the playoffs to be the last team standing. We are excited for big years from our senior class. This includes Northeastern commit and 2023 League MVP AJ Aschettino, Hudson Valley CC Commit Jeremy Graham, and College of Staten Island Commit Jonny Bohlman. With that, there will need to be other guys that play a major role in our success. Juniors Ryan Loughlin, Vito Spadafina, Tyler Maggio and Jackson Marte have shown big strides this offseason. Lastly, an old reliable out of the bullpen has been uncommitted Senior Jack Hopkins. In my opinion, Jack has show that he can get outs in huge moments, and would really help somebody's roster at the college level.” – Anthony Anzalone, Head Coach
