Uncommitted Spotlight: High Aspirations For 'Late-Bloomer' Dimattio

CHARDON - “I’m a late bloomer as far as recruitment.”

Those are the words of Notre Dame Cathedral Latin senior Joe Dimattio, who has recently found college interest from two junior colleges.

“I took a visit to Johnson County in Kansas the other day and a month from now I’m taking one to Walters State,” Dimattio said in reference to the Tennessee school that is currently the second-ranked NJCAA Division I baseball team in the country.

Interest took place after Brownlee Lookouts’ coach Ben Simon posted a recent video of the 6-2 205-pound right-hander throwing 88 mph.

“It’s weird, I got out there when there’s not a lot of money left,” Dimattio explained. “I was 84-86 at the end of summer but guys were out of money. I had every Division III school plus (D-II) Lake Erie after me.”
