“DJ” has all the baseball tools

Coming off a terrific four-year stint with the North End Athletic Association (NEAA) Little League, Dom “DJ” DiCenso is continuing his torrid hitting playing for two NEAA Dodges traveling teams.

The hard-hitting 13-year-old is playing for the 13 and 14 and under teams.

DJ is hitting the cover off the baseball just about every time he steps up to the plate.

A team player, DJ, has the ability to eventually play high school baseball. He has all the tools, a lively bat, plays solid defense and he has a great baseball attitude.
