2007: Despite missing the first two months of the season while playing in college at St. Thomas Aquinas, Brian again showed he's the teams greatest weapon. On the hill he again dominated opposition, going 9-3 with a team-best 2.23 ERA. His 9 wins were a team-high for the second straight season. His 78 strikeouts in 76 2/3 innings brought his career total to 255, a Nassau Yankee career record. Offensively, Brian hit .286 in 105 at-bats. He drove in 20 runs while scoring 24 more.
2006: Brian had arguably the best overall season in the history of the organization. Both at the plate on the mound, he quickly became the club's marquee player and driving force towards an incredibly successful season. With the bat, Brian hit .357, 3rd on the team, in 98 at-bats. He led the club with 2 home runs and 25 RBIs and his .520 slugging percentage was 2nd best. Although he had outstanding offensive numbers, Brian truly shined on the mound. As the most dominant pitcher in the QMBL, he went 12-1 with a 1.91 ERA, both tops in the league. He also struck out a league-high and franchise record 132 batters in 99 innings of work. In 12 starts, he had 7 complete games and walked just 28. He topped of his dominance by tossing a no-hitter against the Queens White Sox. At the end of the season he filled the trophy case, being crowned the QMBL Cy Young winner, Team Cy Young winner and Team MVP.
2005: As the youngest member of the team, Brian quickly proved up to the challenge. Playing in a team-high 23 games, Brian hit .329 with a homerun and 12 RBIs. Despite being just 18, Brian showed tremendous maturity on the hill, quickly emerging as the team's number two. He went 4-1 on the season with a 3.46 ERA. He saved his best for the big stage, tossing nine innings of one-hit baseball in the QMBL playoffs.
