Steve had a standout collegiate career at the Division I level, playing for 4 years at Georgetown University, a member of the BIG EAST Conference.
While at Georgetown, Steve started at 1B/DH all four years and was a fixture in the middle of the Hoyas lineup.
Steve steadily improved his on-field performance over his collegiate career culminating in a .344/.397/.508 slash line in his final year – his slugging % being the best in the entire BIG EAST conference. Steve was honored with the Team MVP award following his senior season at Georgetown.
Aside from his on-field performance, Steve was a consummate teammate and representative of Georgetown University Baseball throughout his four years with the program. Steve was elected team captain by his teammates going into his final year and was awarded Teammate of the Year following the completion of the season.
Steve also exemplified leadership and community service at Georgetown by spearheading a charity fundraising effort which raised ~$50,000 to battle childhood cancer. Steve led his Georgetown teammates in a head-shaving fundraiser, in partnership with the St. Baldrick’s foundation, following a game.
Background – Summer Collegiate Leagues (Albany & Newport)
Following each collegiate season at Georgetown, Steve was selected to play for prestigious summer wood-bat collegiate leagues across the United States.
After his freshman season, Steve signed with the Albany Dutchmen of the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League (PGCBL).
Steve had a standout summer with the Dutchmen where he was named a league All-Star, led the team in most offensive categories (HR, RBI, Slg%), and was named a Top 20 prospect for the MLB draft.
Following his sophomore and junior seasons with Georgetown, Steve signed with the Newport Gulls of the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL) – often cited as the #2 ranked league in the country, just behind the Cape Cod League.
Steve excelled in his 2 seasons with Newport, where both he and the team had tremendous on-field success.
While with Newport, Steve was named an NECBL all-star, competed in the league’s HR derby, led the entire NECBL in RBIs, and broke the Newport Gulls Franchise Record for RBI in a season (still the current record holder).
In his first season with Newport, Steve led the Gulls to a League Championship by hitting .307/.401/.490 with 6 HRs.
Following Steve’s first season with Newport, the Gulls were named the #1 Summer Collegiate Team in the nation by Perfect Game.
Coaching Experience
While at Georgetown and Newport, Steve was a youth baseball coach and instructor. Steve primarily worked with baseball players aged from 6 to 18.
Steve was an instructor at Georgetown’s Elite Prospect Baseball camp where he worked with the infielders on defense and served as the hitting instructor for all camp attendees (aged 14-18).
In Newport, Steve was a coach for the weekly camps provided by the team for local youth baseball players aged 6-12. Steve helped the younger players learn the fundamentals of the game while creating a fun learning environment.
Steve intends to be running his business full-time while playing but may be available to assistant coach youth teams as his schedule allows.
Post-University Baseball Hiatus and Return to Competitive Baseball
Following his career at Georgetown, Steve was offered opportunities to continue his baseball career by professional Independent league teams in the United States, but opted to start his business career as a management consultant instead.
While working as a management consultant in Washington, D.C., and New York City, Steve stayed connected to the game by playing in local leagues and coaching youth players in his spare time.
In 2018, Steve started his own consulting business (CoLo Consulting) and has been operating the company remotely while living in 10+ countries around the globe. Steve’s nomadic journey has taken him to Germany, Czech Republic, England, Hungary, the Netherlands, Georgia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan, Colombia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Canada among other places.
In 2021, while living in Canada, Steve decided to return to competitive baseball with the Fredericton Astros, who compete in the Capital City Intermediate Baseball League in New Brunswick, Canada.
With the Astros in 2021, Steve picked up where he left off at Georgetown by posting a 1.486 OPS and hitting .457 with 5 HRs with an astounding 20:3 BB:K ratio. Following the season, Steve was named a league all-star, won the Rookie of The Year award, and finished top 3 in MVP and Defensive Player of the Year voting.
Why Overseas Baseball?
Steve is now seeking a new opportunity in 2022 with an overseas club to continue pursuing his two passions – baseball and travel – while continuing to run his online-based consulting business.
Steve seeks to bring his leadership, high-level playing, and coaching experience to help an overseas baseball team win games and develop their local baseball players.
Steve looks forward to hearing from teams that are seeking an experienced and accomplished baseball player who is comfortable living in new places.
