It looks like the roster for 2020 is up. Looks like Mckennitt, Malgeri and Hedaya are no longer on the team.

All three contributed last year. Malgeri had the second highest average. Hedaya and McKennit ate up a lot of innings, ERAs were high

Malgeri is a huge loss ! just googled his name and he pops up on the New Mexico JC roster - definitely the same guy as his hometown is listed Exeter, N.H. - that's a crazy landing spot McKennit just showed up on the Pitt roster for 2020 - some sports do not require sitting out a year and he's on the active roster for next season - maybe a nice aid offer and ACC competition was hard to turn down.

Hard to believe that a 7.09 ERA would get him any money from an ACC school, unless he had a great summer somewhere.

Not trying to suggest a negative but were they all in good academic standing?

Malgeri is a huge loss for sure. Prob do a year in New Mexico, then to a much higher profile program as a Jr. Good luck to him.
Mckennitt was throwing 90+ last year vs. LSU. obvi gave up a lot of runs last year, but struck out 38 in 39ip.
Hedaya threw 18 innings as Jr. last year. not a lot of success in 3yrs, guessing he's just giving up on baseball for senior year?

Certain sports don't require a student-athlete to sit out a year as an undergrad transfer?
Why?

It’s quite arbitrary and in general the NCAA lets it happen in the non (small) revenue sports that have scholarship limits such as baseball - the max even for the power leagues is 11.7 (among a baseball roster of 25-30) For example BU and Loyola lacrosse both lost their top player to a power conf school - the BU player is imme eligible at North Carolina and I’m not sure where the Loyola guy went but he’ll play right away

The BU player is All American Chris Gray from Shoreham Wading River High School in Suffolk County Long Island, where I taught and coached hoops for many years, consistently one of the top lax programs in the state, boys and girls.

Any chance there might be information on the athletes who are actually on this year’s baseball roster?

Danny Barlock (HC '19) just popped up on the Wake Forest 2020 roster - hopefully he is fully recovered from Tommy John surgery and can have a great graduate season for Wake.
(I know this thread was HC baseball roster...)

(I know this thread was HC baseball roster...) It's good to see HC grads holding their own at major programs, e,g, Barlok in ACC baseball, RJ Evans at UConn basketball, and Alim Muhummad at Vanderbilt football.

A classmate of his from Exeter HS is also on that New Mexico JC roster, as are three players from MA high schools. The other Exter NH player played for Univ of Maine last year, and pitched rather poorly.

Malgeri was second on the Holy Cross team with a .282 average as a freshman last spring, and hit .333 in 42 games with the North Shore Navigators of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League this summer. By transferring, Malgeri will be eligible for the MLB draft one year earlier than he would have been had he remained at Holy Cross.

Is that Futures CBL comparable to the Cape league ? it seems as if Malgeri has Either a legit chance to be a high draft pick —or not. seems as if he is throwing away a quality education to be hopefully drafted one year early. Wonder if he was getting much or any financial aid ?

Per ta prior season Telegram article The FCBL, which debuted in 2011, is the youngest of the three summer college baseball leagues in New England. The NECBL began play in 1994. The CCBL has been around since 1885, and last year, 292 CCBL alums played in Major League Baseball, and 260 CCBL alums were drafted.
"The Cape League," Hall said, "is probably going to get the top 200-250 players in the country who aren't playing for USA Baseball, and we save at least 10 spots on each roster for New England kids. We do compete with the NECBL and the Cape a little bit for players. We might be competing for a kid who might be a backup player on the Cape, but might be an everyday player for us."
The FCBL can't approach the prestige of the CCBL, but seven of the 10 FCBL teams play in stadiums formerly used by professional teams while the CCBL plays on high school fields.
"That's why I wanted to play the Futures League, because of the stadiums," Lan

Sorry , I didn’t publish the whole article but it was about the Worcester Bravehearts of the Future League playing an exhibition game with a team from the Cape Cod league at Fitton and the coach for the Cape Cod league team saying it was a good experience playing on a better ball field

Wonder if he was getting much or any financial aid ? He must have received feedback from MLB scouts or his advisors before making such a move. I also remember an article over the summer where his coach said he was a legit 5 tool player.

You go to HC for (1st) an education and (2nd) athletics. Absolutely no chance of a high round draft pick! Likely somebody fed him some BS about MLB but he hit .284 at HC and played in the Futures League this summer. To give up on a quality education for a dream is debatable. Hope it works for him.

Potential can be great or a curse, but wish him success in his future. Professional athletic careers are difficult to achieve, and some might argue baseball can present a more difficult path if you get stuck behind someone in the minors.
