JBS - Despite move, PETER SERRUTO is still a Jersey guy at heart

Today we are catching up with Peter Serruto, who traded in his Scarlet for Crimson after transferring out to Indiana University during the summer. Serruto was one of the great New Jersey High School catchers of the 2010s - a stud for Millburn HS head coach Brian Chapman on TWO state title teams in 2015 and 2017. An early recruit to Rutgers, Serruto was a primary catcher for Rutgers since his arrival on campus. With a reputation as one of the best DEFENSIVE catchers in the country (Peter gives plenty of shoutouts for that during the interview), the question remains - can Serruto show enough offense to get drafted this summer? Early returns during the preseason look good - but we'll find out when games start in two weeks! Find out what Serruto misses most about Jersey Life and catch up with one of NJ's best on this edition of JBS.

TGIM - SURVIVOR: JOSH COHEN K'd cancer. Now he's staring down the MLB Draft.

Josh Cohen may have only been 15 but his life changed forever July 4, 2016, the moment his sister realized there was something about his face that looked different. It turned out Cohen had a tumor in his cheek, a rare form of Ewing sarcoma. The big C. His teen years were essentially over. 14 rounds of chemo were to follow over the next 9 months and Josh went from a talented rising junior at Indian Hills HS to one that was involved in a fight, one day at a time, for his life. With some help along the way, Cohen won that battle, striking out cancer and coming back with a vengeance, fulfilling his D1 dreams. Now Josh is hitting 95 mph, he is getting ready for his season at Sacred Heart University, and he's on the board as an MLB Draft Prospect. He has a goal of getting to 98 mph on May 1 - the five-year anniversary of being declared cancer free. Are YOU going to tell him he can't do it? WATCH the incredible story of Josh Cohen - on today's episode of TGIM!

JBS - CREATE YOURSELF - The Official story of Marist baseball star Dylan Hoy

Marist shortstop Dylan Hoy's career was at a crossroads. A 4-for-42, COVID-abbreviated freshman season was really the first time in his baseball life that Dylan had failed. It was eating at him. For the first time in his career, things weren't easy on the field. The time away helped. Physically, as far as making adjustments. And just as much mentally. The CREATE YOURSELF slogan - what Dylan tries to live by on and off the field - was born. The old, confident Dylan Hoy was back. 10th in Division 1 in hitting in 2021 and on the radar of all 30 MLB teams heading into 2022, who love his smooth, quick hands at short, his unquestioned and unparalleled passion for the game, and his potent hitting stroke. Dylan BRINGS IT every moment of the day and he certainly brings it for this episode of JBS from his "second home" at Power Arm in Ramsey.

TGIM - Rider ring week kicks off final dance for JAKE BARBIERE

Please comment, like, subscribe to our channel! TGIM today means we have arrived at ring week for Rider University and its 2021 MAAC Champion baseball team. Today we look at their swiss army knife and perhaps best all-around position player, Jake Barbiere as he gets set to begin his fifth and final trip through the conference. Jake is the kind of player and person - the guy who takes pride in doing EVERYTHING right - that winning teams always have but they never get a lot of publicity. He's likely moving to the outfield this year because that's what the team needs to be the best version of itself. We want Jake to get the attention he deserves - and nothing could make us happier than Barbiere going out with a bang in 2022. Enjoy our time with Jake and learn what it takes to transform a program into a winning one.

JBS - Welcome to the Land of Bozz (Northeastern catcher Greg Bozzo)

If you've ever met Northeastern University catcher Greg Bozzo - the former Ridge High and Diamondjacks star - the first question almost always is - how is someone THAT energetic LITERALLY ALL THE TIME. From wakeup until bed, Greg is ON. So that's what we ask Greg first as we sit down on today's JBS. But there's much more - we talk about catching, the dark days after his first school - La Salle - cut its program in his first month of school, positive mindset, the Diamondjacks, leadership, playing for one of the best programs in the Northeast, and catching two potential top draft picks in pitchers Sebastian Keane and Cam Schlittler. If you know Greg - you know this - you don't want to miss him unplugged here. Welcome to the Land of Bozz.

TGIM - Incredible rise of JOE MICELI - from Unrecruited to big-time pro prospect

Welcome to Season 2 of the Jersey Baseball Show and the inaugural episode of TGIM. Let's get fired up for an incredible New Jersey college baseball story. Joe Miceli was a senior at Indian Hills HS in the Spring of 2018, struggling to hit 82 mph and HOPING for a shot to continue his baseball career. Nobody was knocking down the door but he finally did get a shot with DeSales University - a great D3 program under legendary coach Tim Neiman. That's when Joe's journey becomes a movie script. A velo spike and some conversations - internal and external - put him on the #JUCORoute and one shot to see where he takes it and Joe goes to Bergen Community College. A COVID year gives him extra time to grow, the fastball spikes to the mid-90s, he generates incredible spin rates and movement (3000+ on the breakers), he plays in the MLB Draft League and crushes it with more than a strikeout per inning, and Miceli transfers to national powerhouse University of Virginia, where he should be throwing key innings for a program that's ALWAYS in the mix for the College World Series. Sitting mid 90s and up to 96, Joe is now a big time MLB Draft Prospect. GREAT EPISODE for anyone who wants to bet on themselves, anyone who is UNCOMMITTED and fearful that they have no shot, ANYONE who appreciates an awesome journey. Let's get it going with this great feature on Joe Miceli.

GENERATION NEXT 2.0 - Big-time prospect AJ GRACIA hits the top of the charts

We finish Generation Next 2.0 at the top - according to Perfect Game's rankings, Ranney's AJ Gracia is the top Class of 2023 baseball player in New Jersey. The best thing about AJ, is that while he knows rankings are fun and starts conversations, they aren't really what's ultimately important. The credentials are there though. The swing is magic producing a heavy artillery of nukes and bombs. The mound presence and stuff is lethal and Gracia has recovered from UCL repair surgery - considered more advanced than Tommy John in that there's no need for complete ligament reconstruction - the original ligament is healthy enough to be reattached through a bracing procedure. Add the package of skills, the positive go-getter personality, the love of the game, the great attitude - it's easy to see why Gracia was a highly sought after recruit who gave his verbal commitment to defending ACC Tournament champ Duke University. Can't imagine a better way to finish Generation Next 2.0 than this conversation with budding star AJ Gracia.
