October 2025 Athletes of the Month

Jack Coen

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” — John Quincy Adams

This fall, our 18U group participated in three college showcases at Stonehill, UMass Lowell, and Bryant College. It was a new experience for the team, and it proved to be an incredible opportunity for all of our players. With multiple college programs in attendance, our athletes gained valuable exposure and experience competing in front of coaches at the next level. We also made the decision to keep practices outdoors and only move inside when weather forced us to. The combined outdoor sessions with the 16U group provided everyone with more reps and game-like opportunities. Many players took full advantage of this. Their consistent effort did not go unnoticed. No one exemplified this dedication more than Jack Coen. Jack, who played with the Bandits when he was younger and has been part of our fall program for years, is the definition of a selfless leader. Congratulations to Jack on being named our October Athlete of the Month.

I’ve known Jack since he was nine years old, when he played for the Bandits team I helped coach. From the start, he has been a respectful, hard-working young man who always leads by example and represents his family with pride. That hasn’t changed one bit. This fall, Jack was a constant presence; at nearly every outdoor practice and every hitting session. Even after recently committing to continue his academic and athletic career at Saint Michael’s College, his effort and attitude never wavered. Jack understands the work ahead and continues to set the standard for both our 16U and 18U players.

We’re excited to watch his future unfold and wish him the very best in everything he pursues, both on and off the field.

Great job, Jack, and congratulations again!
