Nick Iuni, a RHP from Mahopac, has committed to pitch for Savannah College of Art and Design, an NAIA school in Savannah, Georgia. You may remember: This is the destination of Kennedy slugger Mike Imbriale, who is now a junior.

Despite a name that doesn’t sound much like a baseball school, SCAD is a good landing spot for Iuni. The Bees had a solid year last year, going 33-24, and saw their first alum make it to the bigs, as knuckleballer Charlie Zink made a start for the Red Sox. (Zink, a couple of you may remember, was roughed up in Boston; but what I just saw now was that he still was named the International League pitcher of the year for his work down on the farm at Triple-A Pawtucket.)

Iuni didn’t get many opportunties as a junior on a staff with C.J. Riefenhauser, Anthony Castillitto and Luke Giumarro on the staff ahead of him. He threw 25 IP and went 3-3, but I’ve heard great things about him from Indians coach Frank Moloney. I’d expect him to slot in as the No. 1 starter in replace of C.J., who is now a freshman at Iona.

Fox Lane catcher Tim Panetta has committed to play his college ball at UConn. Panetta, who has started for the Foxes since his freshman year and started for Hudson Valley on the Empire State Games, fielded several offers but just made his choice recently.

I’ll have more on his decision after I speak to him.
