The Clippers Baseball Club is proud to announce the first of our players and their committments. I also want to thanks people like Tom Rizzi (TRHIT) who are in this for the right reasons and have the best interest of the players up front.

Ryan Pennell LHP from Rye Neck HS, NY has accepted the offer from Elon University. Ryan also played last fall for the College Select program.

TJ Olesczuk SS from Hendrick Hudson HS, NY has accepted an offer to play baseball at Winthrop University

John Pilla MIF from Ardsley HS, NY has accepted the offer to play at Young Harris College. The program has been a JUCO power for years and will become a 4 year D2 next year.

Chris King C from Rhode Island has accepted the offer to play for Coastal Carolina next year. Chris joined us for the 17U WWBA in GA and did very well for himself.

Congratulations to these players and their families. I'll will post more as we get them.

I just want to add another Congratulations here and that is to Willy Gabay 2009 RHP from Mahopac HS. Wille is a great story since he did not make his HS team this spring. Instead ran track and came to us ready to compete. He was so good this summer that he accepted a baseball scholarship to Austin Peay University. This was done at the 18U WWBA in GA. So its never to late.
