Nate Pirog has had an outstanding high school baseball career at Bristol Central High School.

As a senior this year, Pirog pitched 52 innings, going undefeated with a 6-0 record. He recorded 86 strikeouts and maintained an ERA of 1.30, earning him spots on the All-Conference team, the Senior Select All-Star team, and recognition as an All-State pitcher in Class LL.

In his junior year, Pirog was selected for the Junior Select All-Star team and the All-Conference team.

Over his entire high school career, he pitched 143 innings, achieving a 16-5 record with 182 strikeouts and a 1.70 ERA. His opponents had a batting average of just .214 against him,
with 115 hits allowed over 537 at-bats.

Some notable performances included leading Bristol Central to a 10-0 victory against New Britain on May 14, 2024, and pacing the team to a win in his 5 starts against Bristol Eastern. In his final start against Eastern this May, the victory gave Central the championship of the CCC South.

Pirog is not just an excellent pitcher and athlete. He has also excelled in the classroom, having been honored as a member of the CCC All-Academic Team. And he was among the group of athletes honored as 2024 Bristol Sports Hall of Fame Scholar-Athletes.

Pirog has recently announced that he plans to attend Keene State College in the fall and continue his baseball career there.
