We played well. We pitched well, we hit well and we started a lot of underclassmen. We had some big years from guys.” Every season sees...

That’s why, when Bellmore JFK head coach Mike Gattus handed the sophomore right-hander the ball in a do-or-die game three with a trip to the Nassau County finals on the line, he knew exactly what he was getting. “Derek was special today—as he’s been for us all year and in his career,” Gattus told Axcess Baseball after the game. “We had all the momentum possible after game two, and he carried it on.” Yormack delivered 5.1 innings, allowing five hits and two runs while striking out ...

Despite a taxed pitching staff following a three-game quarterfinal series, Seahawks head coach Doug Robins handed the ball to senior Jack Degnan—who rewarded that trust with a dominant outing. Degnan tossed a complete game and delivered at the plate, leading No. 4 Carey past top-seeded Bellmore JFK, 4-1, in a brisk 102-minute opener of the best-of-three semifinal series. “Jack is a s...

Zach Zander was the star of the show for the Trojans, pitching six innings of shutout baseball in which he struck out six and didn’t walk a single batter.

Jayden Gigante Commits to St. John’s University
24 hits as an 8th grader. 26 hits as a 9th grader and 40 hits as a 10th grader. That is some rarified air for any player. Carey OF Jayden Gigante has had a tremendous start to his high school career, and he still has a full 2 seasons left. This week he recently announced his verbal commitment to St. John’s, where he will join his summer ball teammate, Andrew Caramico in 2 years.

Jayden has become a tremendous player through hard work and dedication. His range in the outfield is off the charts – he covers the gaps.He has been a starter since 8th grade. He’s a gamer and rise...
Conversation With Garrett Scavelli
We are in a new era of college baseball which includes the transfer portal acting as free agency for the big Division-I programs. The reality is that it benefits the Power 5 programs much more than our local teams. In certain cases, however, a program like St. John’s could utilize the transfer portal and upgrade their roster with a player that has excelled at the Division-II level. Garrett Scavelli, a player that thoroughly dominated at Molloy University on his way to being named the 2023 ECC Player of the Year, entered the transfer portal in that summer. Over his 3 year career, he slashed .357/.458/.562 with 121 runs scored, 92 RBIs and 60 extra-base hits. It was a major talking point from local coaches who obviously were interested in Scavelli’s services, but also in the situ...

Carey Looks to Use Athleticism to Make Another Playoff Run

Carey finished the league with a record of 15-2-1 and handed Calhoun their only conference loss on a game in which we covered. Overall, they finished with a record of 16-4-1. They had some outstanding performances, including the League MVP – CF Teagan Graham. He batted an even .500 for the season, stole 14 bases and coach said he had the only R...

Carey was 15-2-1 during the regular season last year and took an undefeated record halfway into the season. Although there was contributors up-and-down the roster, a big reason was their leadoff hitter extraordinaire Jayden Gigante. The pesky leadoff hitter perf...
