Suffolk baseball player of the year

Alec Solé,

Sachem North,

Shortstop/Pitcher, Sr.

There was something about Solé that screamed leadership. It could have been the way he handled the bat in the leadoff spot for the Flaming Arrows. He sprayed hits all over on his way to a .505 batting average, the catalyst of an offense that marched to the Suffolk Class AA championship. Or maybe it was his defensive wizardry at shortstop, where he took away so many hits. Or it might have been his mound presence and 6-2 record, including three saves and a 1.25 ERA. "He led us in every way," said Sachem North coach Tom Gambino.
