Summer Collegiate League Standouts - Tony Bucciferro


Our second addition to the Summer Collegiate Baseball Standout list is Tony Bucciferro from Joliet Illinois who played for the Grand Lake Mariners in the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League.  Tony is listed as the #9 propect overall in the Great Lakes Collegiate League by going 4-2 with a tiny 1.74 ERA and 34 strikeouts in 41 innings over the past summer.  More than one Manager in the Great Lakes League stated Bucciferro's slider was the best in the league.  More impressive is the 88-92 mph heavy fastball and the fact that Tony is only going to be a sophomore this season at Michigan State University.  His stats at Michigan State as a freshman are also quite impressive going 5-2 with a 3.55 ERA (led all starters) in 71 innings.

Tony is a 6'2" 190 lb right handed pitcher from Minooka Community High School in Illinois.
