Smithtown West ’11 grad, Anthony Gatto, has signed to play with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League.
Gatto played his collegiate ball at UMBC–posting terrific numbers over his four years. He posted a .387 OBP over 493 at bats and was successful on 48-of-58 stolen base attempts.
“It’s an unbelievable feeling and I could not be more excited,” said the Hauppauge native.
He joins Bruce Kern (Bellport ’06),Anthony Vega (Pat-Med ’09) and James Lomangino (Connetquot ’09) as recent high school grads from Long Island to have the honor of playing in front of their friends and family.
Gatto represented Suffolk in the Battle of the Border on June 6. He joined Jonathon Mulford as players that parlayed that into continuing their playing careers.
He will wear No. 35 and is listed as an outfielder.
