FDU Hall of Fame
A member of the FDU Baseball All-Decade team for the 1960’s, Jack DeRosa is one of the most accomplished pitchers to ever put on a Knights uniform. The proud owner of one of the few no-hitters in Knights’ program history in 1964, DeRosa graduated just one strikeout shy of a perfect 2:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio for his career. During his three-year career at FDU he recorded a 2.48 earned run average over 137.5 innings. DeRosa’s best season came in 1964 when he pitched 48.2 innings with a 1.48 ERA and limited his opponents to just 29 hits. He completed his career by recording career-highs in innings pitched (57.1) and strikeouts (55), while posting a 2.19 ERA as a senior, and his 1964 campaign remains one of the most dominant individual seasons in Knights history.
