    A 6-foot-1, 195-pound first baseman and outfielder, Roccaforte led Louisiana-Lafayette with a .373 average, 16 home runs and 68 RBIs in a monster 2022 season that also featured 25 stolen bases. His 2023 season wasn’t quite as electric, but he still slashed .318/.426/.538 with eight home runs and a career-best 26 doubles. Roccaforte makes plenty of contact and hits his home runs to the pull side, but he has a tendency to hit around the baseball a bit too often and could do a better job letting the ball travel and using the opposite field. Roccaforte is a versatile defender who has played all three outfield positions. He played in the Cape Cod League in 2022 with Bourne, and struggled to a .182/.241/.234 slash line with 19 strikeouts and five walks.
