Background

Danny Serretti committed to St. John’s University shortly after solid participation in the 2015 Underclass Games and the Battle on the Border. He is one of the state’s most exciting young prospects; routinely making above average plays at shortstop and showing that he has a knack for finding the barrel from both sides of the plate. A varsity player as a freshman, Serretti will be a fun follow over the next three years.

Scouting Report

Serretti has long, lean features and a projectable body. Switch hitter with similar tall stances and knee-to-knee bottom half into his stride. He has a smooth, easy stroke from both sides with bat speed; slightly uphill from the left side. Started the second session's game off with a triple to the LCF gap. Defensively, he has clean and easy actions. He has a repeatable hand break and moves through his throws well. He has potential for big time arm strength. He has excellent body control and projects to be a highest level player, especially if he can increase foot speed. He pitches with rhythm and a smooth, easy delivery and a fast arm from a 3/4 arm slot. His velocity was 75-79 and his breaking ball had spin potential at 62-64 MPH.
