In high school, Josh excelled at Cardinal O’Hara High School. While there, he was named to the All-Catholic team twice, and was an All-Delco selection once, as well as being a team captain his senior year. Josh went on to have a great career at Marist College, where he was named to the MAAC All Conference Team as a junior. He was also a team captain for both his junior and senior seasons.
After graduating from Marist in 2009, Josh went on to play professionally overseas. In 2010, he was named the Pitcher of the Year in the German Bundisliga, and received the same award in 2011 in Italy’s Seria A. This summer, Josh will be playing for the Lake Erie Crushers of the Frontier League.
We asked Josh why he likes giving lessons at All Star Baseball Academy. “I enjoy watching young players develop and get better at baseball, it’s my passion, that’s why I do it”.
Off the field, Josh spends his time fishing.
