2015 25th (763) - Steve Laurino - 1B - Marist

Laurino is a 6'3, 230 pound senior from Marist College in New York. Fun Fact: That's where Maryland head coach John Szefc coached before he arrived in college park.

Getting back to Laurino, he bats right and here are his numbers with Marist: .358/.442/.561 with 6 HR, 3 triples, 14 doubles, 23 BB, 32 K, in 187 AB.

Home run he hit a couple summers ago:

"In Laurino's debut with the IronBirds he was held hitless with 3 strikeouts, certainly not the start he had hoped for. Since then, Laurino has been a spark of consistency for a team that has experienced an inconsistent start. With at least one hit in 9 of his 11 games, Laurino has a short memory and proved his ability to bounce back. Laurino embodies the phrase, "let your play speak for itself," and he has had a lot to say so far this summer. Steve Laurino hit his first minor league homerun, going 2-4 with one RBI in the IronBirds 2-1 loss to the Staten Island Yankees on July 2."
