Miller Place's left handed pitcher Nick Frusco has committed to continue his athletic and academic career at Clemson University.

Frusco has changed his school of choice after he was previously committed to Rutgers. Frusco will represent Team Long Island in the 2024 Leiderman Cup in August after having one of the best seasons in Suffolk county.

Frusco finished the year as a two way star but although his two home runs were impressive it was on the mound where he turned heads. He struck out 10 or more batters four different times this season and ended the year on a remarkable hot streak. The Panthers lefty struck out 43 batters in his final four games, which was highlighted by one of the most dominant performances in recent memory with a 16 K day against Sayville in late April.
