He played soccer all four years of high school and was named Third Team All-State during his junior year.
In 2004 and 2005, he was named the state's baseball Player of the Year, becoming the first athlete to win the award in consecutive seasons.
In Little League (and later in high school), Niese was a teammate of Major League pitcher Chad Billingsley.

It was the first time in Mets history that a pitcher gave up a home run to the first batter he faced in his career.
He ended the day giving up five runs in three innings.
In his second start, on September 13, 2008, he earned his first Major League victory pitching eight shutout innings against the Atlanta Braves in a 5–0 victory.
