Rocco Baldelli Biography

Rocco Baldelli is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on September 25, 1981 in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, United States. Rocco Dan Baldelli, /b o/ l’d e l i / – born September 25, 1981, is an American former professional baseball player and coach. He is currently the manager of the Minnesota Twins in Major League Baseball (MLB). Baldelli started his career in the minor leagues. He made his major league debut on the opening day of 2003 with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Baldelli was a great offensive and defensive outfielder in his two first seasons in MLB. He also placed third in the voting for American League Rookie of Year.

Baldelli was elected to the Rhode Island Italian American Hall of Fame in 2004. Baldelli lists his interests as fishing, traveling and playing the bass guitar. Baldelli is the son Dan Baldelli and Michelle Baldelli’s second child. He has two brothers, Nicholas Baldelli and Dante Baldelli. Dante, his brother, is the Boston College Eagles’ starting centerfielder. He lives in both St. Pete Beach, Florida, and Rhode Island where his parents still reside.

Baldelli started the 2005 season on the disabled list after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament over the offseason while playing baseball with his brother. He had surgery and was expected to be back by the All-Star break. However, he seriously injured his elbow while working out and needed Tommy John surgery to fix the damage, which led to months more rehabilitation.

In 2005, Baldelli’s promising career was derailed by a rare metabolic/muscular disorder that caused frequent soft tissue injuries, fatigue, and other ailments. He was unable to play at all in 2005 and missed significant time over the following seasons as doctors struggled to diagnose and treat his condition. From 2005 until his retirement 2010, the former everyday center fielder spent long stretches on the disabled list and played at least half of the season only once—in 2006, when he appeared in 92 games for the Devil Rays. Baldelli appeared in 35 games in 2007 and 28 in 2008, and the Rays did not renew his contract after the season. He signed a free-agent contract with his hometown Boston Red Sox in 2009 and appeared in 62 games as a backup outfielder and part-time designated hitter. Still struggling with injuries, he returned to the Rays organization as a minor league coach in December 2009. As the 2010 season progressed, he decided to attempt another comeback and began rehabbing in the Rays’ minor league system. Baldelli returned to the major leagues in September and appeared in 10 games during the last month of the regular season. However, severe muscle cramping during the 2010 playoffs forced him off the team’s active roster, at which point he ended his playing career at age 29.

Baldelli, who started in center field on Opening Day 2003, made his major league debut. Two of the bright spots in a team that lost 91 games to the Devil Rays were Baldelli and Carl Crawford, a rookie outfielder. Baldelli finished 2003 at batting.289, with 11 home runs and 78 RBI. He also scored 89 runs and stole 27 bases. Baldelli also placed in the top ten for many categories of hitting in the American League. He finished seventh in at-bats with 637 runs, tenth with hits 184 and tied Ichiro Suzuki eighth with eight triples. He also finished fourth with singles with 133. Baldelli was also the AL’s leader in outfield assists, and 2nd in range factor. This indicates that he was one the most skilled defensive outfielders in the game. Baldelli finished third in the voting to be the 2003 AL Rookie Of The Year, behind Hideki Matsui of New York Yankees and Angel Berroa from the Kansas City Royals.
