The Grind

Had my last tournament of travel baseball this past weekend. Thank you @Grind_Training for it all!

I am blessed to announce my commitment to play Division 1 baseball for the University of New Haven. Thank you to my family and all my coaches helping me throughout my journey. Huge thank you to coach Celano and Guarino for trusting and believing in me. 🐎⚡️#ChargeOn #PowerOn

Boston Invite 17U Champions | CT Grind 2026 Carolina 🏆 @Grind_Training x #TheBestPlayHere

RBI triple from today @PSBaseballScout #uncommitted2026 #bostonprospectselect

Vinny Lombardo (‘26,CT) 📝 Controlled leg lift with whippy barrel, explosive rotation. Elite bat speed with high body control, on time for the FB. RBI 3B: 99 mph / 295’ #BostonClassic | @UConnBSB Commit | @grind_training 👤 play.ps-baseball.com/player-profile…

Thank you! @ACBaseballGames

Artie McCormack (‘28 CT) rips a bases clearing triple into the LCF gap. Picks up his 4th RBI in just 2 innings. Showcasing the ability to work the opposite field gap for success. Direct path through zone with balanced maintained through impact. #PGIDC @PG_Scouting

Artie McCormack IV (‘28, CT) 📝 Athletic LHH with a strong lower half and small leg lift, hits for easy power and finds the gap. Bringing his hands in on the FB for a 2-RBI 3B. 3B - 93 EV / 37 °/ 323.8 ft #RIOpen @Grind_Training 👤play.ps-baseball.com/player-profile…

Gavin Chakar (‘28, CT) 🔋 • 6’3 195 Loud outing tonight w/ some truly electric stuff. Fluid controlled actions on the mound, sinks well into his back hip and fires it ceanly. Accelerates his arm quickly through lay back. High RPM and outlier EXT helps the FB play even firmer. Advanced feel for his age with the power CB that he snapped off for strikes with ease. FB: 92 / 2600rpm / 7’11 EXT CB: 82 / 2280rpm/ -9.2 IVB / -6.7 HB / 7:15 Tilt Oozes projectability as he still has a lot of room to fill out his lanky 6’3 frame. Truly some of the most electric stuff in the country in the 2028 class. A surefire name to keep an eye on over the next few years. #RIopen | #TheBestPlayHere | @Gavin_Chakar | @Grind_Training 👤 play.ps-baseball.com/player-profile…

SCOOP: @VandyBoys is expected to hire former standout player Jason Esposito as its new hitting coach, I'm told. Esposito replaces Jayson King and has spent the last 3 seasons as the assistant hitting coach for @CleGuardians. He has spent 8 total years in the #Guardians org. #AnchorDown

Third baseman @ant_depino and head coach Raphael Cerrato spoke with members of the media following today’s practice at Alex Box Stadium 🏟️📺 #GoRhody

1,127 career wins were just a fraction of the impact Frank "Porky" Viera made in his 91 years, 44 has head coach of @UNewHavenBASE. The @UNHChargers coaching legend & his larger than life personality joined us in the @WTNH studios for a fun interview in 2014, here's part of it

@augeri_paul Get a life you loser! Talking about the most decorated HS coach this state has ever seen!

From a well-placed source: A highly accomplished SCC #ctbase coach, post-ejection after contesting a call, shoved an umpire with both hands, had to be escorted by police/security from the field, later was handed a 1-game suspension by his AD. I’ve seen no reporting on the matter.
