“I’ve always wanted to coach, and give back the knowledge that I’ve learned over my career. What better place to start, than at Garrett College, where I had a great experience on and off the baseball diamond, under my old Head Coach, Eric Hallenbeck” said Coach Alfieri.
Always remember, as a pitcher, there is a reason why you are position #1 in the scorebook. You are the most important player on the field. If you don’t throw the ball, NO ONE PLAYS!
