Brennan, who also toed the mound for the Taconic Rangers travel team, pitched to a 6-2 record, achieving a minuscule E.R.A. of just 1.50. He also recored 73 punch outs while batting .380 at the dish, whopping a pair of dingers, including a grand slam.
“Collin Brennan was our best hitter and number 1 pitcher,” Brewster baseball coach Michael Trainor said when nominating his dual-threat star.
