This exciting announcement was made during a festive ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Mustangs’ brand-new turf field, happening right on the last day of school.

A Journey of Passion and Legacy

At 56 years old, Strovink is ready to embrace this new role, transitioning from his previous position as an assistant coach for baseball and wrestling at Rocky Point High School, where he dedicated an impressive 11 years.

That strong foundation only blossomed as he pursued his college career playing baseball at Louisiana State University (LSU) and C.W. Post, wrapping up his collegiate journey with an impressive 17 home runs in his final year.

After finishing his college career, Strovink made waves when he signed a free agent contract with the Texas Rangers in 1991.

The excitement around Strovink’s appointment echoes through the Mount Sinai community. Former Rocky Point coach Anthony Anzalone praised him as a tremendous mentor and a special guy destined to make a positive impact on the Mount Sinai baseball program and the wider community.

Strovink’s coaching philosophy is not merely about wins and losses; it’s about player development and community involvement. He is dedicated to instilling values of service in his athletes, requiring them to partake in at least 25 hours of community service throughout the season. This emphasis on community work reflects Strovink’s belief in helping the less fortunate while also building character among players, further enriching their experiences in the sport.
