Keep An Eye On Concato

Watch out for Amity righthander Louis Concato.

He bulked up during the offseason and really improved. He will be one of many dangerous arms in a deep Spartans' pitching staff.

Amity coach Sal Coppola said he likes what he's seen so far from the righthander.

Concato, who throws in the mid 80s, is coming off a very impressive American Legion season.

He's a smart kid, too, as he will pitch at Dartmouth next season.
