Yesterday the Peglegs dropped their first game of the season to West 50th Street Campus 2-1. The old saying is true “Good pitching stops good hitting.” The Peglegs left 11 men on base and couldn’t get that big hit yesterday. Owen Potter made his pitching debut for Stuy, 2.2 innings 7 strikeouts and 4 walks and 2 earned runs. Matthew Deutsch then came in for relief and kept us in the game throwing 3.1 innings with 1 walk and 1 strike and 0 runs. The Peglegs go into the break 2-1 in the division still in first place.

I’d like to announce that the Peglegs won their first league game today 5-2 over Bayside HS. The cold day saw Jared Asch throw 6 strong innings and 84 pitches and Jeremy Rubin come in for the save. We got the big hit from Mike Gillow, a 3 run homer and a big insurance hit by Malcolm Hubbell. The defense was solid with no errors and cap by Khyber Sen throwing a runner out at the plate from right field. This was a good solid win. Next up is West 50th Street Campus at Pier 40 Wednesday at 4pm.
Thank you for all the fans that came out and brave the chilly weather.

A year ago today, March 25, 2017, Stuyvesant’s varsity baseball team traveled to Ft. Hamilton High School for its final pre-season scrimmage. It was an unremarkable affair, in which the Tigers prevailed over a lackluster Pegleg squad in the Saturday-morning chill. As the dispirited players gathered their equipment, nothing hinted at the heroics about to unfold.
Four days later, the team opened its season at home with a bang. Against Newtown, the Peglegs prevailed 9-3, behind strong pitching from Tobias Lange, timely hitting from Jack Archer, and sharp fielding from Max Onderdonk and others. Stuyvesant would not lose another game until April 21, racking up wins against Bayside, Norman Thomas, Newtown (again), Francis Lewis, and the High School for Construction Arts in the process.
Thus began one of the most remarkable sports seasons in the school’s modern history.
“Last year’s team was special,” says coach John Carlesi, reflecting on a campaign that saw the Peglegs go 12-5 in New York City’s toughest athletic division. “For the first time ever, Stuyvesant was ranked in the top ten in the city,” he says. “It meant a lot to the team and to the school.” The banner atop the FSB homepage captures one of the season’s signature moments, a 1-0 walk-off triumph over Bryant in the final game of the season.
As the 2018 campaign opens, Carlesi and Assistant Coach Matt Hahn find themselves invoking the glory of 2017 to motivate a young and relatively inexperienced team, while tempering expectations with a measure of realism.
“It’s a brand new year,” Carlesi says. “We can’t expect to be that good again.”
Losing eleven seniors in a single off-season means many new faces in the dugout. “Three-quarters of the infield has never started a varsity league game,” Carlesi observes. “We need a lot of players to step up.”
Joining last year’s stalwarts—seniors Onderdonk and Michael Gillow, and juniors Jared Asch, Jeremy Rubin, and Malcolm Hubbell—in the probable starting lineup, rotation, and bullpen are seniors Ronin Berzins, Simon Carmody, Perry Wang, Samuel Merrick, and Khyber Sen (who was injured in 2017), juniors Matthew Deutsch and Cooper Nissenbaum, and sophomore Owen Potter.
Anchoring a deep bench are seniors Sam Merrick, Justin Heinze, and Sam Stamler, juniors Daniel Kim and Henry Carver, and sophomore Franklin Liou.
“With so many people in new positions,” Carlesi says, “I’m looking for the player who can hit. If you hit, we will find a spot for you on the field.”
Asked about the team’s relative strengths, Carlesi says, “From what I’ve seen so far, the pitching is very good. I think it’ll hold up in league play.”
The problem for Stuyvesant, as it is for so many teams at this level, is hitting. “We need that person who can be consistent in getting the big hit,” Carlesi remarks. But to be successful, the entire team will have to contribute. “If we can hit .250 on a consistent basis, we will win most of our games,” he says. “Last year, we hit .268 in league play. That’s very good.”
Recent pre-season victories over Abraham Lincoln and Berkeley Carroll offer glimmers of hope for the regular season. “We were getting the head of the bat on the ball,” says Carlesi. “We’re not striking out as much. We’re holding our own. Hopefully, that’s a good sign of what the season will bring.”
But the coach is well aware that pre-season play offers few portents of the year to come.
That, after all, was the lesson of the magical season of ’17.

I’d like to congratulate Nathan Chandler, class of 2016, on his first college win yesterday for Kenyon College. Nathan battled back from TJ surgery during his senior year at Stuy and worked hard to get back to top form. We are very proud of him.
As the varsity gets ready to head to Florida later today, just a few reminders.
Make sure the boys have ID. Passport, NYC ID or school ID.
No liquids more than 4 ounces
Last years Stuy gear including hats. We are not wearing uniforms for scrimmages.
About $150 in spending money.
Do not overpack, space is limited in vans plus we have washer and dryers at the condo’s. I will supply detergent and teach them how to do laundry if need so.
Be at the airport around 4:30. We will meet at group check-in for United Airlines, terminal C.
If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
We hope that your summer is going well. We know it’s only July, but it is time to get ready for the 2017/2018 baseball season. We will have a fall tryout season starting on or about September 18th through October 28th for the Varsity and JV tryouts.
Please have your medical and consent forms completed by September 10th. The medical form must be completely filled out including the medical history, doctor’s exam part and parent’s signature and student information, doctor’s stamp, date of medical and the doctor’s license number and signature. Without this information you cannot participate.
Also please fill out all the spaces on the parent consent form that call for your initials. If you are playing a fall sport your medical is good for baseball, but you will need a new consent form. All forms can be found at www.psal.org or www.stuybaseball.org.
There will be a meeting for all players during the first week of school, a parents meeting will be announced when school begins. In the mean time please stay in baseball shape, get to the cages and throw during the summer.
Another excellent season comes to a close.. with a 9-5 loss to GW. We out-hit them, 10-9 but were felled by the 2 aspects that usually are solid: def & base-running. Cooper Nissenbaum was outstanding on the hill (most of their runs were unearned), but we had 5 errors behind him. Matthew Deutsch was strong in relief…Ben Zenker and Owen Potter had huge clutch hits (drove in 2/3 apiece) and if we did this one again, we feel the outcome would be different. But that is baseball! Thanks for a wonderful season, all.
