Anthony Chiappetta brings steady FDU backstop value with contact bat and game-management chops
Chiappetta has been a dependable presence for Fairleigh Dickinson, appearing in 29 games with 26 starts in 2025 and handling the catcher spot with solid defense; he posted a .962 fielding percentage in 2024 and a .923 mark in 2026 cumulative stats. Offensively, his best recent production came in 2025, when he hit .263 with 8 runs and 4 RBIs in limited opportunities, and he’s also shown situational value with RBIs in key games. The fit is simple: if a team wants a mature, defense-first catcher who can keep an inning on the rails and chip in timely contact, Chiappetta is worth a look.
