Section XI News, Suffolk to the Pros

Suffolk to the Pros: Marcus Stroman

One of the most recognizable players in baseball today, Marcus Stroman was just as charismatic and electric on the mound at Patchogue-Medford High School.

The Blue Jays ace was the 2017 World Baseball Classic MVP, helping the U.S. team win gold, and he won a Gold Glove Award in 2017 as the top defensive pitcher in the game.

Stroman stared at Duke University before being selected by the Blue Jays in the first round – 22nd overall – in the 2012 MLB Draft.

Through 2017 he has a 37-25 record with a 3.61 career earned run average.

His “Height Doesn’t Measure Heart” brand echoes his personal characteristics as  shorter pitcher with big heart.

Section XI Honoring International Women’s Day

March 8 is International Women’s day, and we’d love to pay tribute to the women who worked so hard in the early days of Section XI and Suffolk County high school sports.

There was a time prior to the existence of Title IX in 1972 where many women in the Suffolk County region fought very hard to make a difference, to coach, to win and impact the lives of student-athletes for decades to come.

We are so thankful we have such impactful individuals to look up to today.

It’s with profound gratitude we honor the women who were involved with girls sports in Suffolk County prior to Title IX, but also to recognize all of our present student-athletes, coaches and athletic administrators who work so hard representing us every day in the current era.

Nominees can be players on the watch lists or players not on the watch lists, effectively allowing for a third round of additions.
