Facts About Coach Vic…
Most people do not know I was drafted a total of 3 times back in ‘03, ‘04, and ‘06 (‘05 injured).
The first 2 times I was drafted, was as a pitcher and by the Houston Astros both times, 38th out of high school and 50th round my freshman year in JUCO (funny enough, I led the league as a hitter in HRs and RBIs and was drafted last round as a pitcher. Make it make sense🤷🏻♂️)
After a medical redshirt my sophomore year (broken foot) I was drafted for the third and final time in ‘06 and was selected in the 15th round by the Colorado Rockies as an outfielder. In JUCO I batted .394, 11 HR, 51 RBI in 35 games and set the intentional walk record with 20 IBB, school HR record with 21, along with 10 saves on the mound clocking my fb 93-95 mph (funny again, this was my best year as a pitcher and highest velo, but NOW I get drafted as hitter🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂, I wanted to be a hitter anyway)
Professional Baseball:
2006 - Team leader in HR and RBIs (COL)
2007 - Mid season MiLB All-Star (COL)
2008 - Not a bad year, but struggled mentally (COL)
2009 - Released by COL
2009 - Signed into Indy Ball
2009 - Indy Ball All-Star .284 with 18 HRs (led league in XBH, Triples, OF assists)
'10-'15 - Traded, Injuries, switched to pitcher (‘12 Indy All-Star as pitcher), injured again, back to hitter, released, retired😰)
2017 - I was inducted into my JUCO’s Hall of Fame.
2017 - Became a coach at my JUCO, Got married
2018 - Daughter was born, Started my own business Ferrante Baseball LLC
'19-'23 - Built my business and completed 3,000+ hours of 1:1 hitting instruction
2024 - Building an online community to help as many players as possible become the best versions of themselves on and off the field!👊
Just thought I’d share some insight into my accomplishments, experiences, and struggles in this game. I failed a lot along the way, and it wasn’t until I reflected on those failures that I decided to become a coach. This way you know what I teach comes from experience.
Hope you enjoyed those fun facts🙏
