AMSTERDAM — The Amsterdam Mohawks of the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League (PGCBL) have signed three local ballplayers to their 2025 roster.
Michael Mack, a graduate of Saratoga Springs High School and currently a freshman at Northeastern University, will pitch for the Mohawks this summer after recovering from an injury. The right-handed, former Suburban Council Pitcher of the Year has a low 90s fastball “with legitimate secondary pitches,” according to the Mohawks.
Joining Mack on Amsterdam’s pitching staff will be Ballston Spa native and Stony Brook University freshman Matt Sgambati. The right-hander pitched for Albany last season in the PGCBL. He’s a Christian Brothers Academy grad who posted a .95 ERA and hit .380 during his senior season.
Also appearing on the mound in Amsterdam this summer will be Joe Gold, another B-Spa native and Christian Brothers Academy alum. Gold pitched for the Mohawks in 2023 as a high school senior, showing off a 93 m.p.h. fastball and an effective breaking ball. He’s currently a sophomore at Boston College.
The 13-time PGCBL champion Mohawks will open their 2025 season on May 29 at the Rao Family Stadium at Shuttleworth Park in Amsterdam.
