Graczyk to C.W. Post
-
- August
- 13
I heard from Carmel CF/P Zack Graczyk, who has given his commitment to play ball for C.W. Post, which, as many of you probably know, is a Division II program on Long Island. C.W. Post (29-27) advanced to the Northeast Regionals of the D-II College World Series this spring.
Graczyk, who led Carmel in homers and RBI, pitched and played outfield for Hudson Valley at this summer’s ESGs. He expects to have the opportunity to do both at Post as well.
Surprisingly, C.W. Post has zero locals on its roster. The team is almost entirely made up of Long Islanders, although it was, at one point, a destination for people from Westchester, Rockland and Putnam.
To anyone out there reading this who has committed to play college ball or may be close, be sure to send me and e-mail at jthomson@lohud.com and I’ll pass along the news.
There are still some big names out there who have yet to commit to college. Remember: Some wait, but August is usually a busy month for incoming seniors who play baseball.

Congratulations Zack! All your hard work has paid off. You deserve it!!!
Congratualtions. I had gotten to see Zack play a few times and he is a heck of a player. CW Post stole him!
