TJ Hunt

Director of Scouting, New Jersey

High School: Fair Lawn

Head Coach: Jamie Graceffo (6th season, 86-85)

2015 Record: 17-10

The Cutters are coming off a season in which they won 17 games and competed for the Division crown. Big losses on the hill for the Cutters will hurt, as RHP Corey Heitler is off to Wagner College this spring, but Coach Graceffo brings back some talent that will again compete for a Big North Independence Division Championship, and hopefully be a team to look out for come the County and State Tournaments. Key returners will be 2016 CF John Klimowich (DeSales) and 2016 LHP Garrett Litvak (St. John Fisher). Look for 2018 LHP/OF Ryan Rue to contribute in big ways in a largely young, inexperienced group.
