The transfer of 20-year-old catcher Mattia Reginato from UGF Fortitudo Bologna to T&A San Marino in the Italian Baseball League became official on Tuesday when the Titans announced their newest acquisition. He follows the path of Bologna teammate Jairo Ramos Gizzi who also is joining T&A for the 2011 season.
Reginato, a product of the Baseball academy in Tirrenia, already played in the area in 2009, when he made his IBL debut for Reggio Emilia. After their relegation he had moved on to Fortitudo. In the past season he batted .179 (OBP .343/SLG .214) in just 56 at-bats through 19 games (17 starts). He threw out five of ten base runners during steal attempts this year.
