Joe played three years of Division I baseball at YSU, earning a full scholarship as a freshman walk-on in 1987. As a freshman he was named the teams Top Pitcher and the following year as a sophomore was named Team MVP. It was during his sophomore season he compiled a pitching record of 9-1, which remains the school record for most wins in a single season.

Personal Message:
As a former division I athlete and high school coach I have an excellent perspective of what it takes to be recruited and what it takes to play at the college level. I am dedicated to educating high school student-athletes and their parents about the recruiting process and the A,B,C's of recruiting. My goal in partnership with NSR, is to is to provide every qualified student-athlete in Illinois a means to be identified, evaluated, and ultimately offered an athletic scholarship.
