The 26-year-old right-handed pitcher Marco Costantini is considering retirement. Since a few years he is struggling with back problems, which also limited his 2009 season to two faced batters. According to a report on Baseball.it he is currently not thinking about coming back and hopes to recover so much that he is able to live a normal everyday life. Costantini has a 19-11 record with an ERA of 2.80 in 71 career games, all for Danesi Nettuno.
