THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 26, 2026 Page 11 PITCHER | FROM PAGE 1 game for four years: 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 McMahon will be forever remembered as the most successful, winningest — and easily the most prolific — pitcher in Malden High history, recently completing his best season as a senior who dominated the GBL scene, capping his career with the coveted Greater Boston League “Most Valuable Player” Award, as voted by the GBL coaches. This selection in itself is historic, as the last GBL Most Valuable Player Award for a Malden High player was nearly 30 years removed, when a similar, standout two-way player, Brian Blumsack, earned MVP and a Boston Globe and Boston Herald All-Scholastic nod as well. Only two other former Malden High School baseball legends have achieved GBL League MVP status in both the past 50 years — or ever, it is believed — former Major League Baseball (MLB) players Kevin McGlinchy (Atlanta Braves, Tampa Devil Rays, Chicago Cubs) in 1995 and Carmine Cappuccio (Chicago White Sox, Philadelphia Phillies) in 1988. McGlinchy, who pitched in the MLB World Series for the National League-pennant win- LEGAL NOTICE - City of Malden Massachusetts Board of Appeal 215 Pleasant Street Malden, Massachusetts 02148 Telephone 781-397-7000 x2104 MALDEN BOARD OF APPEAL PUBLIC HEARING The Malden Board of Appeal will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, July 15, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time (US and Canada) at Malden City Hall, 215 Pleasant St., Room #106 Herbert L.

Cappuccio, who holds most Malden High single-season and career hitting records, is also fourth on the alltime pitching wins list with 19 (19-7 career, 1986-1988). The Malden High top five career all-time winning pitchers are McMahon (23 wins, 20232026), Bradley Applin (20 wins, 2009-2012), Joe Souza (20 wins, 1992-1995), Carmine Cappuccio (19 wins, 1986-1988) and Shawn Brickman (17 wins, 1975-1977). McMahon has surpassed all of them statistics-wise, and his future is still ahead of him as for post-high school aspirations. He is headed to attend and pitch at Northern Essex Community College in Haverhill in the fall. All three of the Malden High former Greater Boston League MVPs in 1988, 1995 and 1999 — as well as the present MVP McMahon — were coached by Malden High Head Coach Steve Freker, who just completed his 42nd season coaching high school baseball overall, his 10th year back at his second time around at Malden High. Coach Freker had high praise for his senior star: “Four years ago he was just a freshman, 15 years old and about 130 pounds, if that — but Ryan [McMahon] always wanted the ball. “He was one of those kids who always played with older players coming up in the youth leagues,” Coach Freker said. “He was like 13 years old pitching against high school kids when he was in 7th grade I remember, so he did have a bit of experience before he got to Malden High.” For the past two seasons particularly, McMahon has been the REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BUYER1 Adams, Thomas Cafferelli, Brian Curtis, Paige Dhakal, Kuber Hailemariam, Bemnet Abebe Ng, Joshua Siu Lim Rosario, Jhoan Showalter-Bucher, Richard Wolfson, David BUYER2 SELLER1 Digloria, Rachel Wu, Yanying Li, Erwin Khanal, Apsara Taye, Fitsum Lajoie, Jason Thaddeus G Wang, Hui Hwang, Boeun 24 Watts Street LLC Liu, Lili Mulholland, Patrick Goodrich, Scott Envista Home Services Inc Julyan, Candace Kaufman, John Mulholland, Bridget Goodrich, Margo Hancock, David Kaufman, Regina ONE-TWO PUNCH: The combination of senior pitchers Ryan McMahon (left) and Billy Gavin (right) has added up to a whopping 27 wins and a 27-9 pitching combination over the past two seasons for Malden.

In the recently completed 2026 campaign McMahon recorded decisions in each of his 10 starts with a 7-3 record, 61 2/3 innings pitched, 74 strikeouts and an 0.68 earned run average. In the past two seasons, McMahon has gone 14-5 with over 140 strikeouts. “To be honest, this past season, the best three games [McMahon] pitched was probably in games we lost. He threw a three-hitter against [Lynn] Classical [2-0 loss], a four-hitter against [Lynn] English and another close loss to Somerville earlier in the year,” Freker said. “We are always in the game when Ryan’s on the mound. It’s been that way for all of the past four years.” Ryan McMahon gets ready to deliver a pitch. (Advocate Photo/Henry Huang) “To achieve what he has in his career is just remarkable, both in success and consistency,” the Malden coach said. “The four years of winning is a big part of it in the historical end. Malden High only had three years of high school until it changed to a grade 9-12 format in the 1980s.” “Ninth-graders were not even a factor in varsity sports even into 2000s. For a kid like Ryan to come in at the Varsity level and compete and perform like that is special,” Coach Freker said. Overall, McMahon and fellow senior Billy Gavin — another successful pitcher the past two seasons at 13-5 — have weathered THE most successful four-year span of Malden High Baseball in school history, a 56-26 record from 2023-2026, the most wins for any Malden High team, any season, over the past four years.
