I think this is a great segment for all kids, trainers and parents to listen too. Hit the ball consistently, don't look for the home runs all the time. Put the ball in play more than striking out.

The Next Level bats came alive in the third, scoring 5 on 3 hits and 3 walks. Two scored on this RBI double off the bat of Dylan Lanieburg. They’re up 5-0. End of 3

Here are the lineups for game 3 of the day at the Axcess Collegiate Classic. We have a clash between two 2-0 teams! Next Level vs Dodgers Nation coming up soon

Joe Disanza shuts it down for the 8-0 Next Level win by mercy

Trevor Petrowsky was dominant on the mound for Next Level, as he went four scoreless innings with just one run allowed. He is the player of the game

Nice piece of hitting by Kayden Bates (LuHi 2027) and shows his athleticism turning it into a double

Fred Klauck and JJ Walsh combined for a shutout, allowing only one hit and nothing 8 strikeouts as a duo. They are tonight’s players of the game

Diamond Award Winners Joe Corea Award (Top Two-Way): Derek Yormack, Bellmore JFK Don Lange Award (Top Position Player): Jayden Gigante, Carey Doug Robins Award (Top Pitcher): Joe Carey, Garden City

‘26 Jayden Gigante (NY) drives this pitch the other way for a 2-RBI double. Plenty of evident quickness in the hands w/ adv ability to expand zone & manipulate the stick. #RedStorm commit. #ECEliteChamp @PG_Scouting

‘28 Austin Wolff (NY) comes up clutch in the #ECEliteChamp QTRS with this game-tying 2-RBI 2B to left; finished 3-for-3 w/ a pair of doubles. Creates separation well w/ easy leverage at the point of launch. Lots of strength/quickness in the hands. @PG_Scouting

‘26 Kevin Prosceo (NY) turned in five no-hit innings w/ 5 Ks & just 1 BB allowed. Heater lived 85-86 T88 w/ late sink to it. Induced plenty of s&m from a tight 2-plane SL (clip). Filled it up at a 63% clip. 17.8 yr old. #GoGaels commit. #ECEliteChamp @PG_Scouting

‘26 Matt Muzikant (NY) collected 9 Ks across 6 IP in the #ECEliteChamp final & allowed just 1 ER. Lived in the mid-80s, T88 early on w/ some heavy life. Mixed in a late-breaking CB to induce whiffs (clip). #FlyHawks commit. @PG_Scouting

A few from yesterdays outing

Opening weekend travel ball tweet - Long Island travel ball season for HS grads started up this weekend. A recurring theme that needs to be ADDRESSED - 2026 HS graduating seniors going into college were playing down in a 17U 2027 age division - granted County and NYC Borough playoffs were ongoing and travel organizations needed fill ins for unavailable players. But moving forward graduated 2026 seniors SHOULD BE PLAYING IN A COLLEGIATE LEAGUE! If your travel coach is still asking you to come down...not only is he being selfish and taking valuable reps away from 2027s that need their ABs, field time or innings. But they are doing you a major disservice of not allowing you to physically/mentally prepare for college level competition and polished talent. Players...do the right thing for your development. Travel coaches...focus on your rising seniors and juniors!
