Feeling strong, Green announces his commitment to BC

- 29
I received an e-mail from Stephen Green (above) of John Jay yesterday saying he had committed to pitch at Boston College. Green makes Section 1’s big three from 2010 into a big four. Seriously, has the Section 1 recruiting period ever kicked off with a bigger bang? Four players are headed to major-college programs.
Green and I spoke last night and I will have a story for tomorrow’s paper. He went to visit four schools (Fordham, Penn State and St. John’s being the others) but decided he liked BC the best.
Green actually visited to BC in February and made his ultimate decision back in May, after the Eagles had dispatched coaches to watch him pitch twice, once against Somers and another time against Greeley.
“”I wanted to stay in the Northeast, and I wanted a good academic school that also had good sports and it had that,” Green said. “I didn’t really know anything about it (in February). I just wanted to see what it looked like. It seemed like the best one I saw.”
I asked the hard-throwing southpaw about his arm. As you probably know, he missed the second part of sophomore year with a sore shoulder and more than three weeks late this season with a sore elbow. Green returned to earn the save over Suffern on May 30. He said he was healthy ever since, and pitched the entire summer for the Taconic Rangers.
Green hit as high as 91 on the gun down at the big tournament in East Cobb, Ga.
“My arm feels good now,” he said.

This was definitely my favorite so far!

Stephen Green is a very smart young man! He will be set with a BC degree and just might get drafted. ACC baseball in the Northeast. BC should be an attractive spot for many of the top prospects in the Northeast. Good luck to him!
