The Pioneer center fielder and leadoff hitter set a new single season run record in his senior campaign crossing the plate 65 times while also stealing 33 bases. Drowne was selected to the All-Northeast conference second team in each of the last two seasons.

"Mike has done a great job for us the last two years and really deserves this honor," said SHU head coach Nick Giaquinto. "He is a hard working kid and this is a feather in the cap for our program."

Testimonials:

Thank you for this past weeks College Coaches Camp at Baseball Heaven. Your camp was well organized and ran the best out of all the showcases I have attended. - Nick Napoli

Just wanted to let you know how much my son, Spencer, got out of the Coaches Camp this week at Baseball Heaven. The program was terrific, and he especially enjoyed hearing you talk about pitching. I was very impressed with the camp as well--everything was first class all the way. - Ken Samelson

First we want to complement you on your College Baseball Coaches Camp as the best organized and well run camp that we've seen. Between the skills sessions and the actual games, the boys were always active and also learned new things to improve their skills. -Joe & Sally Veltri

Congratulations on a fine camp. My son Daniel told me it was the best showcase he has attended, in large part because there was so little "standing around". The four-diamond facility is well-suited to accommodate such a large number of players, and the coaches kept everything moving. - John Reynolds

What they're saying...

"As a 23 year high school teacher I certainly appreciated the organization and professionalism that went into your clinic the past two days. My son and I have been to a number of showcases and without a doubt, yours was most certainly worth the drive and expense. Every coach I saw and spoke to was helpful, organized and enthusiastic regardless of the question, drill or the ability of the player involved. Having the opportunity to play in front of many college coaches under controlled live situations was a wonderful method to further evaluate a player's abilities. The written feedback was also a very positive approach. Thanks again for a great experience."

Richard Blanc, parent.

Hey Coach Mazzoni, it's Matt DeSimone.

I just wanted to thank you for all your help on Saturday. I learned a lot of new things such as some drills, and getting my mechanics compared to those of major league pitchers really helped me as well. I had a great feeling for the campus in the first place, but my experience on Saturday just made it a whole lot better. I just wanted to thank you again and i hope we can stay in contact further down the road as well.

Thanks,

Matt DeSimone
