November 2025 Athletes of the Month

Joe Moscaritolo

If you want to lead, be the voice people like you need to hear.

The boys of our 14u Bandits have had a lot of success in their baseball journey. After winning the 9u New England Championship, these boys from Braintree, Milton, Hingham and Dorchester have won Little League District Championships and State championships at both Little League and Babe Ruth level. They have a wealth of talent, but it means nothing without a leader. Everyone on the team leads in their own way but Joe Moscaritolo stands out on this team and has so since the beginning. He is the primary catcher and a vocal leader on the team. He demands excellence from himself and others and pushes everyone to work just as hard. Congratulations Joe on being named the November Athlete of the Month.

Joe has been a bandit throughout his baseball career. I had him the first year of bandits and I remember him being a very serious competitor. Throughout his time with us he has been a great leader and role model for his teammates. Even at a young age, he shows maturity, respect, and dedication both on and off the field. His positive attitude and strong work ethic make him someone others naturally look up to.

One of Joe’s greatest strengths is his ability to communicate well with others. He encourages his teammates during games and practices, especially when someone makes a mistake. Instead of criticizing, he offers helpful advice and keeps everyone focused and confident. He listens carefully to coaches and teammates, making sure everyone feels heard and respected. Because of this, he helps create a supportive and team-first environment.

Since Joe was 10, Coach Bill Berman has been coaching Joe. He said about him, “Joe has been a mainstay at the club and in the Bandits program for years. He leads by example and is tremendously respected by his teammates, peers and coaches. We named Joe the Captain on his Bandits team a few years ago. It was obvious that he understood what we wanted and why we do things the way we do. He’s mature beyond his years and undoubtedly will continue to lead in the future. His work ethic is 2nd to none; strength and conditioning, catching clinics, hitting clinics, etc. He is obsessed with becoming the best player he can be and is always one of the strongest players his age. What’s more impressive is that he wants to be the best person he can be. He truly cares about his teammates and our club. He does all the little things; he is the pre game organizer and post game cleanup. Joe is always there. We are blessed and lucky to have Joe in our program. He makes coaching so much easier for us. Thanks, Joe, for being such a great example to players of all ages. Joe does it right, every time. Congratulations.

Even now, while Joe is out injured, he has not missed a practice with his team and has also helped with younger age practices. He has been a great representative of the program and his family. Congrats to Joe, good luck with everything in the future.

Thanks
