NEW YORK – The Yeshiva University baseball team will begin the 2023 season with a doubleheader against Western Connecticut State University, at Silver Lake Park, on Sunday morning at 11:00 a.m.

The Maccabees have a young team as nine of the 15 players on the roster are rookies, including team captain Mendy Kanofsky. "Kanofsky has demonstrated a humble coachability paired with a commitment to hard work and elevating his game to the college level," Yeshiva University Assistant Coach Jeremy Schwartz ('11) said. "We trust his leadership will point our program in the right direction for the next four years and are excited for the future."

The young Macs will be supported by veteran players Joshua Mintz, Ari Rosenberg, Adam Zahler, Eliyahu Solomon, Sammy Greenberg, and David Price.

Marty Craft returns for his fifth season as head coach of the Yeshiva University baseball team. He will once again be assisted by Schwartz and Chaim Rosenberg ('18).
