Robbie Peto '16 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to be a pitcher at the Division 1 level. I am working very hard to reach this goal both in the classroom and on the field. I am on a program that includes a fitness and nutrition routine to help get me stronger and I take lessons on and off season to work on my form.  If given the opportunity to pitch in college, I will take this very seriously because it has been my dream as long as I can remember.

If I had to describe what makes me different than other players, I would say that baseball has been part of my family long before I was born.  My grandfather was a player in the Yankees organization and was a coach for over thirty years.  My father was coached by my grandfather and played baseball at the college level at Rutgers University. He has coached me since I was five years old.  These two men have influenced me both on and off the field.  They taught me the fundamentals of the sport and the way to behave both as a person and a player. I have learned that to be a good ball player, you need to know how to play the sport, but to be a great ball player, you have to know how to be a great person as well as ball player.
