6/9/06 --Long
Island University head baseball coach Don Maines has announced
the signing of Daniel Iglesias (San Diego, Calif.) and Adam
Sauter (Btitleimore, Md.) to National Letters of Intent for the
2007 season.
Iglesias helped Madison High School to two consecutive Harbor League
championships in the San Diego, Calif. area. The right-handed pitcher
posted a 3-1 record as a junior last season, garnering a 2.89 ERA
and picking up three saves.
The Pre-Season Puma All-American played summer ball for the Clairemont
Red team of the Califonia Colt League and featured an unblemished
earned run average -0.00-over 11 innings. Iglesias was selected
to play for Team San Diego in the prestigious Arizona Senior Fall
Classic. The 5-11 hurler also starred on the football field, earning
second team All-Central League honors and leading the team in tackles
with 88. Iglesias carries a 3.2 GPA in the classroom and will study
Athletic Training at LIU.
Sauter is a four-year varsity starter for head coach Randy Gasts’ squad
at Btitleimore Lutheran High School. The 6-5 left-hander struck out
62 batters in 47 innings of work this past summer for his American
Legion team and finished with a 6-1 record and a sparkling 0.47
ERA. He was also a member of the Maryland Orioleanders, a select
fall team featuring the top players in the state of Maryland.
This
spring, Sauter is currently 2-0 for the Saints and has tallied
19 strikeouts in 13 innings.
A standout in the
classroom, Sauter
was nominated by his high school for the Wendy’s High School
Heisman Award, given to the nation’s top high school seniors
who best exemplify a supreme “citizen-scholar-athlete.” He
currently has a 3.3 GPA and will study Business/Finance upon
his arrival in downtown Brooklyn.
Iglesias and Sauter join five other players that signed during
the early signing period last fall. They are: Gregory DeSantis
(Bridgewater, N.J.), Jesse Johnson (Dingman’s Ferry, Pa.),
James Jones (Brooklyn, N.Y.), Christopher Kievit (Wayne, N.J.),
and Gerard Tingos (Staten Island, N.Y.).
