Donte Valentine gives CCSU a steady infield bat with local-rooted competitive juice
In the 2026 season, Donte Valentine showed up for Central Connecticut as a useful infield option who can contribute in big spots, including a pinch-hit appearance, a double, and a stolen base in CCSU’s May 5 win over Sacred Heart. He also spent summer ball in 2026 with GoldStar in the CCBL, which hints at a player trusted for contact, speed, and baseball IQ. The extra appeal: he’s a high-academic, NEC Commissioners List type with a 3.94 GPA, so the fit is strong for a program wanting dependable, coachable, low-drama production.
