Biographical Information[edit]

First baseman Vito Chiaravalloti played in the minor leagues from 2003 to 2006 and the independent leagues from 2007 to 2010.

Drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 15th round of the 2003 amateur draft, the slow-footed infielder slashed .351/.469/.605 with 12 home runs and 67 RBI in 68 games for the Auburn Doubledays that year. He followed that with 14 home runs and 71 RBI for the Dunedin Blue Jays, and in 2005 he stole his only base in affiliated ball. That was a poor year for Chiaravalloti overall, as was 2006, when he hit around the Mendoza line. He managed more than 15 home runs and 60 RBI his first three campaigns in indy ball, but struggled in 2010 to wrap up his career.

Overall, he batted .262/.369/.453 with 95 home runs and 413 RBI in 711 games over eight seasons.
