New York, N.Y.— It seems like it was just yesterday that John Jay College of Criminal Justice baseball alumnus James DeCesare (’08) and John Dobkowski (’08) were leading the Bloodhounds to some of the winningest seasons in school history along with a City University of New York Athletic Conference championship in 2007. But upon their exits from the College, the former CUNYAC Player of the Year and Pitcher of the Year have maintained their baseball prowess at the professional level as DeCesare has been starring for the Desert Valley Mountain Lions of the Continental League, while Dobkowski has been a standout pitcher for the Gauting Indians in a German baseball league.

New York, N.Y.— Post season awards continue to come in the direction of baseball players Xavier Perez (Bronx, NY, Manhattan Center) and Wilmer Chavez (Corona, NY, Queens Vocational). The pair of Bloodhounds most recent awards came via the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) as Perez and Chavez were both named to the ABCA / Rawlings New York Region third team for the 2010 season.
