St. Joseph's MLB Draft prospect is Kenosha County player of the year
Dominic Santarelli can finally kick back and focus on the future.
The St. Joseph star recently finished up a three-month grind of a spring baseball season, which culminated in a state runner-up finish. He also was tabbed as the Prep Baseball Report's Wisconsin player of the year for the second straight season, the first time that has happened. Santarelli even made an appearance at the Major League Baseball Draft Combine last month in Phoenix.
