Body Armor Titans
Up Next Powered by Ken Kortright State Farm Agency: Jack Mulligan
(Editor’s Note: This is the first installment of the 2025 Up Next Series in which we highlight the top underclassmen on Long Island. Special thanks to Ken Kortright State Farm Agency for sponsoring this year’s series.) When Massapequa closed out winning the Nassau County AAA Championship in Game 3 over Farmingdale, they did so in a way that differed from their typical fashion. The Chiefs, one of the true baseball powerhouses on Long Island, are generally very upperclass heavy. And while they certainly had their share of seniors – they did have the Diamond Award winner (Thomas Harding) after all, it was a freshman that closed out the last five outs. That freshman, Jack Mulligan, pitched 21.1 innings on the season, allowed 19 hits and struck out 24 batters with a 2.6...

A pair of quality arms were on the mound for this matchup, as Beast National sent out Curry College commit Steven Falco for the start, while the Titans went with Stellan Zangari of South Side High School. Both pitchers endured shaky first innings, with Beast National pushing across their only two runs of the game in the top of the first. An errant throw to second by the Titans catcher led to the first run of the game, the...

Up Next Powered by Ken Kortright State Farm Agency: Jaxson Torres
Jaxson Torres (‘27 NY) absolutely dominant for Body Armor Titans in the chip, went the distance and picked up 7 Ks w/ only 1 H allowed. FB in mid-upper 8s w/ good drive created down slope, still has plenty of upside in frame for future #NEWS@PG_Scouting pic.twitter.com/0FeJeCqSw1 — PG Mid Atlantic (NY, NJ, PA, MD,DE,DC) (@PGMidAtlantic) July 30, 2024 If you look at a pie chart of amateur baseball players, a very small sliver (2%) of that has a shot at playing at a Division-I program. A fraction of those have a chance to play two Division-I sports. Plainedge sophomore Jaxson Torres has a shot to be one of those. As a freshman, he was dynamite for the Red Devils – compiling a 2.26 ERA over 34 innings with 3 wins, 48 strikeouts and only 25 hits allowed. He started two playoff games and ...
Bobby Wescott Commits to Stony Brook
On to the Sweet 16! 2026 BodyArmor Vigeant moves on with a come from behind 9-8 win! Down to their last out, Bobby Wescott hits a game tying home run! In extras, Caiden Erker hits a Grand Slam! Congrats boys! @axcessbaseball #TitanNation pic.twitter.com/Ieux8SKIwA — Titans (@TitansBsb) July 12, 2024 Bobby Wescott had a terrific 2024 season for the Plainedge Red Devils. Though he was just a sophomore, he led the way offensively with a .420 batting average, .553 OBP and incredible 1.321 OPS. He compiled 29 hits, six doubles, six triples, four HRs, drove in 29 runs and scored 15 runs. He recently announced his commitment to Stony Brook University. He still has two full seasons of high school remaining, which is certainly bad news for opposing pitchers. His coach Colin Fratrik had the followin...
Nick Frusco Commits to Clemson
Miller Place sophomore LHP Nick Frusco carried a perfect game into the sixth inning and struck out 15 in a 13-0 win over East Hampton pic.twitter.com/Ud2EPCfWSf — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) March 30, 2023 Long Island has long been a hotspot for producing hard-throwing southpaws. This has been true dating back to the 1970s when Neal Heaton was the No. 1 overall pick in the country but chose to attend Miami. It seems every couple years there’s another young stud that garners interest from Power 5 conferences. Next up is Miller Place southpaw Nick Frusco. After initially committing to Rutgers, he de-committed and announced his commitment to Clemson this past week. Frusco has been up to 94 MPH with his fastball and sits in the low 90s. As a sophomore, he led Long Island pitcher...
Up Next Powered by Eye Q Investigations: Jaiden Zoller
(This is the seventh installment of our weekly “Up Next Series Powered by Eye Q Investigations” in which we highlight the best underclassmen from across Long Island. Previously, we featured Miguel Sime Jr, Matt Cruz, Luke Coats, Michael Gardner, Tyler Scarry. and Kenny Meliere Make sure to check out Eye Q Investigations by clicking here) Body Armor Titans 2026 had a deadly lineup this season and that all began with their leadoff hitter Jaiden Zoller. He put together some video game numbers that would make Rickey Henderson jealous. He batted .484 with a .590 OBP, 1.214 OPS, scored 51 runs and drew 23 walks against just 7 strikeouts. Just as importantly, he committed zero errors in center field. Strong defense up the middle and an OBP-machine at the top of the lineup is a great start to putt...
Up Next Powered by Eye Q Investigations: Luke Coats
(This is the third installment of the popular ‘Up Next’ Series in which we highlight the top underclassmen on Long Island. Previously we featured Miguel Sime Jr and Matt Cruz. Make sure you check out Eye Q Investigations by clicking here.) His freshman season in high school hasn’t even begun and already Luke Coats has turned many heads. Early in June, he was named the MVP of Perfect Game’s East Coast Qualifier in which Body Armor went 5-0. In July, he was one of the best performers at the Blue Chip Prospect’s Northeast College Coaches Camp when he was sitting in the low 80s in front of 24 coaches. Then, he went out and won Axcess Baseball’s Home Run Derby by putting on an absolute clinic in the finals with double digit home runs. Not to be outdone, he we...
Up Next Powered by Eye Q Investigations: Nick Frusco
(This is the second installment of the 2022 Up Next Series Powered by Eye Q Investigations, where we highlight the top underclassmen on Long Island. This is a 10-part series. You can read the first one on Miguel Sime Jr. by clicking here. All of these uncommitted players should have a huge impact on their high school teams this season and eventually will be Division-I players). The only thing more coveted than left-handed pitching is flame-throwing left-handed pitchers. We’ve been fortunate on Long Island to have a long list of great ones. While it is certainly early on in the process, Miller Place appears to have a pretty talented one in sophomore southpaw Nick Frusco. He first put himself on our map at our July showcase where he was sitting in the low to mid 80s and touching 85. Th...

by Brian Honka Final: Titans 9 – Lumberjacks 0 pic.twitter.com/TddOyDLRZ7 — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) October 17, 2022 The Body Armor Titans took on the East Coast Lumberjacks in the 16U championship of the Northeast Elite tournament. The Titans would get on the board first with 4 walks in the bottom of the first giving them a 1-0 lead. Alex Bono would hit an RBI single making it 2-0. Another run would score on a wild pitch giving the Titans a 3-0 lead at the end of the first inning. They would add to their lead in the second with back-to-back walks to lead off the inning followed by an Alex Bono 2-run single making it 5-0. A fielder’s choice off the bat of Cam Tindley made it 6-0 at the end of the 2nd. The Titans would put the game away in the bottom of the 4th. A sac fly...
Titans Take The Lead In the Second, Ride Momentum in 9-4 Win Over The Diamond Ducks
by Chris Prystupa Fly ball to right and the Titans close it out. Final Score: Titans 9 Diamond Ducks 4 pic.twitter.com/FVP6cguK9c — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) July 12, 2022 The 15U Body Armor Titans used a four-run bottom of the third to help them win their first game in the Blue Chip Prospect Invitational Tournament this afternoon. The game started off in the Diamond Ducks’ favor as they struck first in the top of the first inning thanks to a Kevin Cestari RBI double. The Titans would be slow to get going but found their stride in the bottom half of the second inning. To start the inning off, Kameron Tindley laced a double putting a much needed man in scoring position for the Titans. Following a walk, Jack Durso would showcase some excellent two strike hitting as he put a ball ...
Ari Gluck Fans 12 in CG Victory over Nassau Bolts
Ari Gluck struck out 12 over 6 innings for the Body Armor Titans in a 7-1 win @LITitanbaseball @liboysofsummer pic.twitter.com/GgofopbOOc — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) June 4, 2022 Ari Gluck had a terrific high school season on the mound for Half Hollow Hills East. He continued that momentum right into the summer season for Body Armor Titans 16u. On a beautiful Saturday morning at the PAL Complex, the right hander worked quickly and efficiently as he struck out 12 batters over 6 innings, allowing just one run on an RBI ground out in the top of the sixth inning. Following the game, Gluck noted that his goal was “just to get some work in and find the zone,” he added that he’s “working with a new catcher and trying to get on the same page with him.” The ...
