Meet Our CNY Team

James Garrett- Director of Player Development

I have played baseball my entire youth life, starting at T-ball and progressing through high school in McMinnville, Tenessee. I was a Junior Varsity and Varsity starting pitcher from 1994-1998. I played three seasons of D1 baseball at Iowa State as a Pitcher, and played for the All Army Select baseball team while I served in the U.S. Army. I have coached multiple teams for the Rawlings Tigers including National 14U and 16U Teams.

I am currently the Director of Player Development for the CNY Rawlings Tigers which is overseen by the Rawlings Tigers and plan to have many years in the Central New York area guiding young athletes to achieve their dreams all while guiding them to be well grounded, and outstanding young men and women. My favorite food is anything Mexican!
 

Joel Manchester- 13 U Manager

 

Kyle Choquette- 11U Manager

 

I played baseball from a young age, including T-ball all the way up through Junior Varsity baseball at Morrisville Eaton High School, where my primary position was catcher. Due to two severe knee injuries that required surgery I was unable to continue my baseball career as an athlete and transitioned to coaching. I have coached since 2018 starting with Cazenovia T-ball and working up through Cazenovia Little League Minors, AAA, Majors, and All-Star Teams. I was also the assistant coach for the Cazenovia 10U team that participated in the Diamond Pioneer League in 2022. I began coaching with the Rawlings Tigers in 2023 when I managed the 11U team. 

 

I am currently the Cazenovia Majors Little League Coach and the Manager for the 11U CNY Rawlings Tigers. I believe in providing well rounded coaching that includes being a good person, having a positive attitude, and learning from our mistakes. My favorite food is pizza!
