A former four-year standout with the Dolphins, Gale is returning for his second go-around with the team as an assistant coach in 2018. Gale was a stalwart pitcher for the Dolphins from 2008-11, and a year after graduation served as the team's pitching coach in 2012-13. After stepping away to pursue his career, Gale will return to the squad as a fresh face who will offer both batting and pitching expertise to the storied unit.
In four years with the Dolphins, Gale's calling card was his pitching, as he finished as the school's strikeout king with 315 career strikeouts, finishing 7th all-time at the College in career ERA with 3.57, amassing a 21-13 career record. Gale was an ABCA/Rawlings Division III First-Team All-American in 2010, and signed a professional baseball contract with the Traverse City Beach Bums in 2012.
Gale was also a sensational hitter, finishing with a .355 career batting average, three hits shy of the school's all time record for career hits (197) and two RBI shy of the career record in that department as well (151). His 50 career doubles are a CSI record as are his 555 career at-bats.
Gale returned to the CSI squad as its pitching coach in 2012-13, and the team celebrated a CUNYAC title in 2013, amassing a 30-13 overall record, the second-highest win total in CSI history. Gale then stepped away from the team pursuing full-time duties with the New York City Board of Elections, and in 2015, transitioned over to the New York Fire Department as a firefighter, where he continues today.
In his current role, Gale will serve as a general assistant, lending his expertise on the offensive and defensive sides of the diamond.
