The team voted for captains on Monday. Congratulations to Angelo "Ace" Sciandra for being named the captain of the pitching staff. Ian Gallagher, Dillon Lowe, Dan Fetes and Brian Sheehan were voted captains as well. We went with five since all five received a large number of votes.
Ace was voted a captain for the second straight year. In addition to baseball, he is an honors student as an education major and has recieved a number of awards recognizing his teaching prowess.
Gallagher and Lowe were teammates at Pittsford-Sutherland HS in Rochester. It is one of the best run high school programs in the state. In 2010, they won the New York State Championship -- the year after they graduated. Thus, when referred to as a pair, they are called the 'State Champs'. Lowe is a 3.0+ student and is working towards a degree in engineering.
Dan Fetes is one of the most involved players I've coached -- color commentator for our home hockey games; has his own blog and radio show; represents the team on the Student Athlete Advisory Committee; has written for the school paper and maintains over a 3.0. He'll be employable when he graduates!
Sheehan is in his third season as the team's starting catcher and swings the only 34'' on the team. He runs the team from behind the plate and has been one of the most consistent players over the past three years.
Congrats, Captains!
