Billy Uberti enters his second year as a graduate assistant of the Suffolk University Athletics Department in 2018-19, where he is a part of Anthony Del Prete’s baseball coaching staff. In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Uberti helps manage the Michael and Larry Smith Fitness Center, the state-of-the-art varsity weight room and Regan Gymnasium.
In his first season on Suffolk’s bench, Uberti was an added bonus to the Rams’ coach staff, helping the Rams to their fourth consecutive GNAC Championship and fourth trip to the NCAA DIII Regionals in as many seasons.
On the road to another banner year, Uberti aided in a league regular season title with a 13-1 record against conference counterparts, as well as the program’s 1000th victory, an 11-2 nightcap win at Norwich April 21.
Uberti helped 11 student-athletes take home 17 postseason accolades by the GNAC including Player of the Year Brady Chant, who garnered all-region first-team accolades by D3Baseball.com and the NEIBA in conjunction with the ABCA/Rawlings.
Off the diamond, Suffolk’s success in the classroom was acknowledge by the ABCA with the Team Academic Excellence Award, while Chant picked up Google Cloud Academic All-District from CoSIDA for his standout academic and athletic performances.
For the past three seasons Uberti has been an assistant coach at his alma-mater and GNAC opponent Lasell. At Lasell, Uberti worked directly with the infielders and hitters along with aiding the recruiting efforts. In the 2017 season Uberti aided the Lasell offense to program records in batting average (.318), slugging percentage (.455), and home runs (19).
Uberti is a lifetime resident of Newton, Massachusetts, where in 2009 he received the Bill Hamill award (most outstanding high school baseball player in the city). He attended Lasell from 2010-14, where he was a four-year starter. During his junior and senior years, Uberti received GNAC all-conference recognition and captained the team. Uberti graduated from Lasell in May 2014 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sport Management.
Following graduation, Uberti was awarded the opportunity of playing professional baseball in Australia after excelling in his summer baseball league, winning the batting title and a gold glove. He played for the Breakthrough Bandits out of Cairns, in the North Queensland baseball league.
While at Suffolk, Uberti will be furthering his education with a Master’s Degree in Administration of Higher Education.
