Hamptons Collegiate Baseball
Encyclopedia
Hamptons Collegiate Baseball (HCB) is a summer baseball
organization located in The Hamptons in the U.S. state
of New York
. It is a five-team division, also known as the Hampton Division, that is part of the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League
, consisting of the Sag Harbor Whalers
, Southampton Breakers
, Westhampton Aviators
, North Fork Ospreys, and Riverhead Tomcats. The founder and president of the league is Rusty Leaver, owner and operator of Deep Hollow Ranch in Montauk, New York
.
, Hamptons Collegiate Baseball was founded in 2007 by longtime Montauk resident Rusty Leaver.
2008 - Initially, the organization had one franchise -- the Hampton Whalers
-- who in their first season of play won the Kaiser Division title before falling to the Kutztown Rockies
, 8-2, in the ACBL championship game on August 9. This came after the Whalers started their season with an 0-6 record only to win eight of their last nine and finish 19-21. That left them in a tie with the Peekskill Robins, against which Hampton owned the tiebreaker, thus setting up the division championship against the Metro New York Cadets
. With the winner going on to the title game, the Whalers plated two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to win 2-1.
The individual accolades were in great number. Phil Klein, a sophomore at Youngstown State University
, not only lead the ACBL in earned run average
by posting a 1.02 ERA but also threw the first perfect game in league history, setting down all 21 hitters in a 7-0 victory over Metro N.Y. on July 13, 2008. Additionally, left-hander Andrew Guarrasi of New York Tech finished fourth in ERA (1.70) and second in strikeouts (57). At the plate, Alan Parks of UNC-Charlotte stole 22 bags to rank third in the league; more impressively, he did so in 22 attempts.
2009 - In 2009, Hamptons Collegiate Baseball welcomed four new franchises to compete in the Kaiser Division. Led by head coach Shawn Epidendio of Santa Clara University
, the North Fork Ospreys won the regular season title with a mark of 25-15, a game ahead of second-place Southampton, which was coached by Andrew Lorraine
. North Fork prevailed over Riverhead in one semifinal, and Westhampton blanked Southampton in the other to set up the best-of-three division championship series. The Ospreys took game one on an eighth-inning go-ahead home run by Adam Clear (University of San Francisco
), but Westhampton forced a decisive third game by routing host North Fork in game two behind ace Alex Pracher (Stanford University
). In the third game, Westhampton broke open a tight game late to reel in the division title. Mike Mandarino (Camden County College
) struck out nine to earn the victory.
Westhampton
went on to play the Jersey Pilots
, who won the Wolff Division championship. After the Pilots socked back-to-back-to-back homers in the first inning, the Aviators crawled back into the game and earned a 7-5 victory. Alex Aycoth (Campbell University
) went 3 for 3 in the title game and batted .556 in five postseason games (10 for 18). Ray Courtney (Fairleigh Dickinson) picked up the win with 3 1/3 innings of scoreless relief and Pracher struck out the side in the ninth to clinch the championship.
Postseason awards were given out en masse to Riverhead RHP Nick Tropeano (Stony Brook University) and 1B Peter Greskoff (Brown University
). Tropeano won the pitching triple crown by leading the league in wins (7), strikeouts (77) and earned run average (1.61) and thus was named the ACBL Pitcher of the Year. Greskoff hit .397 with 10 homers and 37 RBI to be named Co-Player of the Year along with the Pilots' Ken Gregory (Kean University
). Greskoff was also selected as a Co-National Player of the Year by SummerCollegeLeagues.com, sharing the honor with Drew Heid of Gonzaga University
.
2010 - Four new managers took over, with Epidendio the remaining carryover from the 2009 season. Rob Cafiero, a standout at Villanova University
and former Philadelphia Phillies
farmhand, took the reins in Southampton, while Jim Buckley, who played for Siena College
and in the Boston Red Sox
farm system, managed the Sag Harbor squad. Elsewhere, St. John's University assistant Jeff Quiros was appointed the Westhampton post, and Saint Joseph's College (New York) head coach Randy Caden was named the Riverhead manager.
Under Epidendio, North Fork ran away with the 2010 regular season title, posting an HCB record 27 wins to win the division by five games. Billy Ferriter University of Connecticut
led all Hamptons hitters with a .373 average, and the middle-of-the-order production came from Sebastian Grazziani New York Institute of Technology
, who belted five homers and drove in 31.
In the first round of the playoffs, third-seeded Riverhead went on the road and beat No. 2 Westhampton, while North Fork held off No. 4 Southampton. The Ospreys and Tomcats met in a best-of-three championship series, and after North Fork won game one, 10-3, Riverhead forced a decisive third game on a walkoff homer by Matt Fleishman (Villanova University
) in the 10th inning of game two. The Ospreys proved to be too tough in the rubber match, riding 6 2/3 outstanding innings by starter Robert Kelly (Saint Anselm College
).
North Fork met the Quakertown Blazers in the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League championship game. Back-to-back homers by Rocco Gondek (Sacred Heart University
) and David Jacob (Monmouth University
) were part of a four-run third inning that erased a 1-0 deficit. Aaron Snyder (Southern Illinois University
) and two other pitchers staked closer Lee Weld (Southern Illinois University
) to a 5-2 advantage in the ninth. The Blazers crossed two in the inning, but a groundout to Grazziani gave the Ospreys their first ACBL title and HCB's second league championship in as many years.
Southampton's Mike Mandarino (Broward College) was named the Darrin Winston Most Valuable Pitcher Award, going 4-3 with an 0.83 ERA. He also led the Breakers in batting average (.303), home runs (7) and RBI (16). Westhampton closer D.J. Voisine (University of Maine
) shared the Outstanding Relief Pitcher of the Year award, setting an HCB record with seven saves.
Early in the season, the organization had its first alum taken in the Major League Baseball Draft. Steve McQuail ((Canisius College
)), one of the original Hampton Whalers, was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays
in the 30th round. Ten rounds later, Justin Echevarria (Stony Brook University) was picked by the San Diego Padres
. Shortly after the draft concluded, Peter Budkevics of C. W. Post
signed a free agent deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
