Dix Hills native John Mincone is living his dream as a new pitcher for the Mets’ minor league team, but the road was not without a few curveballs.

The 22-year-old Half Hollow Hills High School East graduate has been put through the ringer during his short baseball career. Despite professional and personal setbacks including injuries and the loss of his father to cancer, Mincone continued to work on his game and stay close to his family roots. Preparation met opportunity last week when he was signed to his dream team, the New York Mets.
