This past week before the Christmas Holiday, Center Moriches hosted a signing day event where baseball player Evan Kaloski signed his national letter of intent to play baseball for Manhattanville College, a Division-III program located in Purchase, New York.
Kaloski is currently a senior on the baseball team at Center Moriches which has been one of the best small school teams on Long Island having guys like former MLB Pitcher Paul Gibson attend the high school.
“(It) definitely was a tough recruiting process,” said Kaloski. “A lot of hard work goes in behind the scenes. I also have been dealing with a couple of injuries over the years. I always believed in myself, worked hard and just believed one day I was ready to play at the next level. I'm super excited to get this opportunity.”
Despite drawing some interest from other schools, the Red Devils Outfielder always felt that he would end up at Manhattanville.
“I thought the college had a nice campus,” Kaloski said. “I love the coaches; they believed in me and there are a lot of nice guys in that program. And when I went on my overnight visit, I enjoyed it a lot and found out that this was the spot for me.”

“My goal is to make All-County this spring,”said Kaloski. “(I’ve) been working hard for the last couple of years and it's no different this year. I also want to use this year to start preparing to go into Manhattanville and be one of the best freshmen there. I also would like to enjoy my last season of high school ball and play with no regrets.”
