Bio
Mike Casabona
Mike Casabona was a standout shortstop for the Colts baseball team in 2009 and 2010. He was one of the main cogs for back-to-back Colts squads who finished as 2009 Region XV runner-up before capturing the Region XV championship in 2010. A leadoff hitter and standout defensive player, Casabona was named to the Mid-Hudson Conference and Region XV all-star teams during both of his seasons at SUNY Orange. He was selected as the Mid-Hudson Conference Most Valuable Player in 2010 and was tabbed as the Region XV Defensive Player of the Year in 2010.
He batted .388 as a freshman and .410 during his sophomore campaign, and ranked among the team’s leaders in every offensive category. As good as he was offensively, he was even better as a defensive shortstop. Blessed with great range and a very strong throwing arm, he made outstanding plays look easy. He went on to play for two years at perennial national power SUNY Cortland where he received his bachelor’s degree in management.
