Valesente, who is in his 34th year as head coach at his alma mater and his 40th year as a head coach, now owns a career record of 1,000-450-7.

He is the sixth NCAA Division III coach to reach the milestone and one of just four active coaches. A total of 50 coaches at any level of college baseball have won 1,000 games dating back to the sport’s 1859 inception.
