Wildwood High School senior Chris Mormile is the first athlete in school history to be signed to play NCAA Division I baseball. With his parents and coaches surrounding him, Mormile took pen in hand and signed on to play baseball for Wagner College in New York City. Mormile said his decision to attend Wagner was made after his junior year when a coach from the school saw the Warrior pitcher’s performance at the Philadelphia Phillies-sponsored Carpenters’ Club showcase. “The coach offered me a visit. I decided to visit and the tour was just unbelievable,” said Mormile. “The Wagner Seahawks play at Richmond County Baseball Park, a New York Yankees minor league baseball stadium. For the native New Yorker, going home to play ball is a “dream come true.”
