About Rob DiToma
Rob DiToma was appointed head coach of the FDU Baseball program on June 20, 2019. DiToma is the 12th coach in the program's history.  

DiToma posted his first career victory as a head coach in his first game of the season on February, 19 when the Knights defeated St. Peter's 13-1. FDU went 3-0 in home games in 2020 and won thrillers over Iona (12-11) and Lehigh (7-4).

DiToma arrives in Teaneck following six seasons as a member of the Fordham baseball coaching staff, most recently serving as associate head coach for the past two seasons.

In 2019, DiToma helped guide Fordham to an Atlantic 10 Championship and back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1998. DiToma's offensive philosophies have paid dividends on the basepaths as the Rams have led the nation in stolen bases each of the past two seasons.
 
With DiToma on board, the team amassed 73 wins over the last two seasons including 31 victories in A-10 Conference play. In addition to his role as associate head coach, DiToma also enjoyed success as the recruiting coordinator for the Rams. DiToma's recruiting efforts have landed perennial award-winning talent including the 2018 A-10 Rookie of the Year, a 2019 ABCA All-American and a 2019 MLB Draft selection. Since 2015, nine Fordham baseball players have gone on to sign Major League Baseball contracts.

Prior to Fordham, DiToma spent four years at Iona College, serving as the team's hitting instructor and recruiting coordinator. In four seasons at Iona, DiToma guided Iona's offense to some of its most productive seasons in the last decade. In 2010, the Gaels posted their highest batting average, slugging percentage, and scored the most runs in the previous 10 seasons. Four of his hitters from that team received All-MAAC honors including three first team honorees.

Under the direction of DiToma, the program started the Iona Elite Skills Camp, an instructional camp designed to help high school players and provide these players an excellent opportunity to receive position specific instruction.

Before his four-year stint at Iona, DiToma coached for one season at Siena and one at Temple. The 2005 Mercy College graduate earned a master's degree in physical education from Manhattanville College in 2007, where he also served on the coaching staff and helped the team win the 2007 Skyline Conference Championship.

On the field, DiToma played four seasons at Mercy as the starting second baseman, serving as team captain as a senior. As a junior, he batted .309 and was an All-NYCAC selection.
