Saturday's practice saw Joe Korszun take home the 'W' off the table and Monday's top practice player was Dan Cecilia. Both are transfers new to our program.
Joe is a gung-ho pitcher that has been putting 100% in everything he does. Early bullpen session have his stuff rated near the top of the staff. Joe spoke about how he watches Conner Lorenzo in practice everyday and is motivated by his effort.
Joe came to us from Mohawk Valley C.C. I saw him at a workout last winter, and he seemed very excited to be at practice there, too.
Dan spent Monday catching bullpens. He was constantly blocking balls and working on his catch and release mecahnics while catching the bullpens. He's chatted up each pitcher after each session to get to know them better. Looks like he wants to play.
Dan comes to us from St. John Fisher. They had a glut of catchers there, and we had none returning, so he's just what we needed. At this point, he'll battle Anthony Schiro (a Niagara County C.C. transfer) for the No. 1 catching job. Freshman Mike Prentice and junior Jason Howard will push them daily.
Dan talked about how the past is the past and he's very excited about the team.
I'd like to give a shout out to Zack Hugg. Huggy is working at Stateline Auto and working on getting some interviews after graduating in December. He checked in this morning and was asking about how his former roomates Sturm, Melo and Grey were doing. He also asked about the new intern, who is not as good as he was.
