New York, New York – After a record-setting season during the 2023 campaign, former BMCC Baseball player Nicholas Mattera (Moorpark, California) will continue his collegiate career at Manhattan College. Manhattan College is an NCAA Division 1 program and a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) member.
 
Mattera immediately made an impact when he stepped on campus, leading the Panthers in runs scored (27) and home runs (2) while tying for first in triples with three. The Moorpark, California native's three triples were the second-most in a single season and all-time in program history. His two homers were also tied for second-most in a single season and third in all-time program history.
 
Mattera, who finished 2023 with a five-game hitting streak, was also second in steals (10), slugging percentage (.538), and doubles (5) while also ranking third in multi-hit games (6) and multi-RBI games (3). He also finished third on the team in three other offensive categories (.360) batting average, (27) hits, and (15) RBIs.
 
He also posted a career-high in four RBIs and two doubles in game two of the Panther's matchup against Queensborough Community College on April 10, 2023. The 2023 CUNYAC CC Baseball All-Star also registered a career-best three hits three separate times in the Panther's first victory of the season against Queensborough Community College on March 21, 2023, and game two against the Tigers on April 10, 2023, and Bronx Community College on April 17, 2023.
 
He has also made an impact for BMCC on defense in the outfield and on the mound, leading the way with 31 strikeouts, the third-most in a single season and sixth in all-time program history, while also being third on the team in putouts with 61 and a .969 fielding percentage.
