RHP Arlo Marynczak
Fifth-year senior right-handed pitcher Arlo Marynczak is the Friday starter for the Siena Saints. Marynczak has spent his entire collegiate career at Siena and earned the Friday starter role for the Saints.
During the season, Marynczak has made three starts. Marynczak has a 0-1 record with a 5.51 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, a .250 opponent batting average, and 23 strikeouts in 16.1 innings pitched.
The New York native is one of the bigger pitchers in the country as he stands at 6’8” and 254 pounds. Marynczak has a three-pitch mix which includes a mid-to-upper 80s fastball, curveball, and changeup.
2. INF Nick Bergamotto
Freshman infielder Nick Bergamotto has gotten a lot of playing time for the Saints this season and has played well. Bergamotto will continue to get early playing time as he’s been one of Siena’s best hitters.
In his freshman season, Bergamotto is slashing .300/.364/.300 with six hits, one run, two walks, and a .664 OPS. Bergamotto is the only hitter on Siena’s roster to have a .300 batting average.
The Garden State native will hit near the top of the order as they are hoping for the heart of the order to drive him in when he gets on base. Bergamotto isn’t much of a power threat as he has no extra-base hits this season.
3. RHP Matt Kahn
Junior right-handed pitcher Matt Kahn has been one of the most consistent arms in Siena’s bullpen. The 5’9” 200-pound relief pitcher is expected to throw some innings against the Gators this season
During his junior season, Kahn has four appearances with no starts. Kahn has a 0-0 record with a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, a .053 opponent batting average, and five strikeouts in six innings pitched.
The Empire State native will have a tough task against Florida's offense. The Gators have been one of the most productive offenses and also lead the nation in home runs as a team. Kahn will have a hands full this weekend if he pitches against the Gators.
