2019 Baseball season
« on: January 22, 2019, 10:14:15 am »
The 2019 Seawolves baseball season schedule is already up:
https://stonybrookathletics.com/schedule.aspx?path=baseball

I am not a big follower of baseball, college or pro... but I wonder what happened to our baseball momentum? Was 2012 CWS appearance the peak? I had assumed that the success and publicity of that year would propel ourselves to a perennial AE juggernaut and regular tournament appearances. Why is the lack of success? talent drop? Can someone with more insight shed some light please?

PS Admin/Mod I think we can unpin all the threads except the rules of the board thread and this thread, please.

I agree we have dropped off since our great season.  Coach doesnt even post who he has recruited or signed .  I would think  kids would love to play here given the new field and our facilities.  I dont expect that much again this season . A top 4 finish in the conference would be good.

2012 was an aberration; the stars aligned with that team. The Big problem is that big time players don’t play in the Northeast; they gravitate to the south and west. Here on Long Island you’re playing more than 1/2 your season in the freezing cold. Who in their right mind, with exceptional talent, would sign up for that?  Only kids that really want to stay home. Don’t blame Senk; the cards are stacked against him when it comes to recruitment.
How old a Seawolf am I? I followed them during their Final 4 DIII hoops run in 1977-78 (they were called the Patriots then)

That makes so much sense. Didn’t think about cold. Just look at the list below. Only like 2-3 cold weather schools in top 25!

But I was expecting the team to at least use the momentum to dominate the America East. I believe they've only won 1 title since they went to the CWS. That's pretty disappointing. I do think the Dubin Indoor Practice facility will be a big help for the team though assuming it's large enough to run some drills in their during the colder months.

 Need some good long ball hitters which we havent had for awhile . Two or three guys who can put it over the fence consistently.

We havent had many long ball hitters since the 2012 Dream team . Looks like that has changed this season !

This team could be really good this year. We've been just a few pieces away but a couple big JuCo transfers have me really optimistic.

It's always challening early in the year for us but its great to see the Seawolves off to a 2-1 start. Obviously the last game was a bit of a clunker but I'll take this start any day of the week.

On a side note, nice to see Daniel Zamora highlighted in the under the radar prospect section on ESPN. If he has a big role this year for the Mets, I'll be stoked as it will benefit my Mets as well as Stony Brook locally.

Michael Wilson is a beast- kid is playing himself into consideration for a high draft pick hopefully. This team has incredible depth

Team is hitting its groove.
