Gators head baseball coach Tony Schifano distinctly remembers going to scout a player from Southern California, but the player he was there to see wasn’t the one that caught his eye.
“I went to a summer game. It would have been five years ago now, and I was there to see a coach’s son that was highly recommended to me, an infielder,” Schifano said. “I’m watching the game and didn’t know who Santos was, and the first swing, he drilled a ball over the right field fence at this summer game. I said, ‘That’s a really good swing.’ I wrote his number down and I’m watching the game, just talking to people and I noticed he was coming back up and the next pitch, he drilled off the right field wall and I said, ‘Wow, who is this kid?’”
That kid was Daniel “Barrels” Santos, who is now the all-time hits leader in San Francisco State University baseball history with 215 career hits.
