Bobby Valentine’s Sports Academy is proud to name Santino Rosso as the First County Bank Athlete of the Month! Originally from Rochester, NY, he attended Hofstra University, starting every season of his collegiate career. While there, he definitely left his mark in the program’s record books: 4th all-time in hits (200+), 3rd all-time in doubles (48), 9th all-time in RBIs (133), 2022 CAA Champion, 2024 Team Captain.
His hard work and drive have led him to pursue professional aspirations. Last summer he competed in the MLB Draft league with the Trenton Thunder; and recently he signed to play for the Evansville Otters in the Frontier League this season.
“... It's been a joy to watch him work, improve and compete this offseason at BVSA. Tino clearly loves the game and plans on playing for a very long time. He's got an electric energy that draws you in and it is going to be great watching him take his career to the next level.”
Santino’s experience and passion for the game make him an awesome coach to young athletes. Whether he’s training the next generation or working on his own game, he embodies the dedication and love for the game, we all strive for at the academy.
Congrats, Santino! We’re proud to have you at BVSA and can’t wait to watch your career continue!
