Max Nielson put the icing on his senior season by winning the Carl Yastrzemski Award as the top baseball player in Suffolk County.

The UConn-bound pitcher was lights out this season in 49 2/3 innings. He struck out a school record 103 batters and compiled a record of 5-1 with a 1.44 ERA.

During his career he struck out a school record 293 and finished with 19 wins, which is one behind Anthony Kay, a pitcher in the Mets farm system now who also played at UConn.

Congratulations @MaxNielsenn for winning the Yastrzemski Award and topping off an outstanding season and an amazing 5 year career @wardmellvile @UConnBSB is getting one heck of a ballplayer! #greenandgold #PatriotPride pic.twitter.com/fOeSEZVB6g
