The Comsewogue School Board Meeting at the Administrative Building took on a special significance on Thursday evening as Assemblyman Ed Flood (R-Port Jefferson Station) presented a framed proclamation to Kevin Schnupp, a 2024 Comsewogue graduate, in recognition of his outstanding achievements in high school baseball.
Kevin Schnupp’s remarkable performance on the diamond earned him the prestigious Silver Slugger Award from the Suffolk County Baseball Coaches Association, a testament to his exceptional talent and dedication. The award is given to the top baseball player in the county at his position, and Schnupp’s accomplishments have set a high standard for future athletes.
During his senior year, Schnupp was instrumental in leading the Comsewogue Warriors to the Suffolk County Class AA finals. As the No. 7 seed, his performance was pivotal in the team’s victory over the top seed, with Schnupp hitting two home runs and contributing significantly to the final score of 9-3. His clutch performances throughout the season, including the finals, showcased his prowess and leadership on the field.
Schnupp’s accolades extended beyond the Silver Slugger Award. He was named the Suffolk County League IV MVP, a well-deserved recognition of his overall impact on the game. His impressive statistics included a .996 fielding percentage, seven home runs, 30 RBIs, 17 stolen bases, and a .430 batting average with a 1.25 OPS. These numbers highlight Schnupp’s exceptional skills both offensively and defensively, marking him as one of the top players in Suffolk County and his school district.
In addition to his athletic achievements, Schnupp has also earned an opportunity to further his education. He is committed to attending the University of Massachusetts this fall, where he will continue to build on his impressive track record.
At the school board meeting, Assemblyman Flood presented Schnupp with the framed proclamation, celebrating his achievements and wishing him well in his future endeavors.
