- 2019 Atlantic 10 Champions

Heading into his sixth season with the Fordham baseball coaching staff is Rob DiToma, who added the title of recruiting coordinator in 2016, and was promoted to associate head coach during the summer of 2017.

The culmination of DiToma's recruiting efforts came to fruition in 2019, as the Rams captured the Atlantic 10 Championship for the second time in program history and made its first NCAA appearance since 1998.  Fordham once again led the nation in stolen bases for the second consecutive with a school record total of 178, while also setting the modern day program record for wins in a season (38) and strikeouts (605).

Individually, pitcher John Stankiewicz was named Third Team All-American by Collegiate Baseball, the NCBWA, and the ABCA, after being selected as the Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the Year.   He also earned First Team All-Atlantic 10 honors along with teammate Kyle Martin, while Jason Coules was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team.

In 2018, the team finished with 35 wins, the most for the program since the 2007 season, and tied for second in the Atlantic 10 standings.  The Rams also set a number of records throughout the year, which included team records for stolen bases, leading the NCAA with 169, strikeouts, surpassing the old mark by over 100 with 536, and saves (20) in 2018.  Other team records set were runs in a single game (29 vs. Saint Peter's) and strikeouts in a game (21 vs. Hofstra).  Fordham also had four players reach 20 stolen bases in the same season for the first time in team history.

The Rams were also honored with a number of awards throughout 2018, led by Jake MacKenzie, who was named the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year, a Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American, First Team All-Atlantic 10, and First Team All-ECAC.  MacKenzie also joined Ben Greenberg on the ABCA/Rawlings All-Northeast Region Second Team, while also being one of three Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team selection with fellow freshman Joseph Quintal and C.J. Vazquez. 

The 2017 season saw the Rams finish the year with an over .500 record with 27 wins.  It also marked the first time since 2011 that a Fordham player earned Freshman All-American status as pitcher Kyle Martin was honored by Baseball America and pitcher Alvin Melendez was honored by the NCBWA.

In 2016, he was part of the Rams' staff that helped guide the team to 29 wins, the most for the program since 2011, and 14 conference wins, which was good for fifth place in the conference standings and a third straight trip to the Atlantic 10 Championship.

DiToma, who is responsible for the Rams' running game and infield, saw the Rams lead the Atlantic 10 in stolen bases (97) and stolen bases per game (1.80) in 2015, while ranking 17th and 14th nationally in those categories, respectively.  The Rams also advanced to the Atlantic 10 Championship for the second straight year and had five players receive Atlantic 10 awards.

In his first season at Rose Hill, DiToma helped coach the Rams to their first Atlantic 10 Championship appearance in four seasons in 2014, where the Rams picked up their first tournament win since 2007.  Fordham also saw a number of award winners throughout the 2014 campaign, as four players earned All-League honors, marking the first time since 1997 that Fordham had four players honored by the Atlantic 10. 

DiToma saw the Rams improve their running game by 36 stolen bases in 2014, leading the Atlantic 10 with 101 stolen bases.  It marked the third time since 2000 that Fordham has reached the century mark in a single season.  Nationally, the Rams finished in the top ten in stolen bases and stolen bases per game, while individually, Fordham had three players in the top ten in the conference in stolen bases, led by Joseph Runco, who swiped a league-best 23 bags.

Prior to Fordham, DiToma had a four-year stint at Iona College, serving as the team's hitting instructor and recruiting coordinator.

In four seasons at Iona, DiToma guided Iona's offense to some of its most productive seasons in the last decade. In 2010, the Gaels posted their highest batting average, slugging percentage, and scored the most runs in the last 10 seasons. Four of his hitters from that team received All-MAAC honors including First Teamers Andrew Passerelle (OF), James Beck (DH) and Chris Burke (3B) and Second Teamer Mike Chiaravalloti (1B).

Under the direction of DiToma, the program started the Iona Elite Skills Camp, an instructional camp designed to help high school players and provide these players an excellent opportunity to receive position specific instruction.

In 2012, DiToma helped a trio of players earn All-MAAC recognition, including MAAC Player of the Year Chris Burke, who finished fourth in hitting with a .351 batting, second in RBI with 50 in 53 games played and second in home runs with 11 among MAAC performers. His 72 hits, 44 runs scored, 20 doubles, 127 total bases led the league while his .620 slugging percentage was second and 23 stolen bases ranked fourth. In June of 2012, Burke became the 24th Iona player to be selected in the draft when the San Diego Padres selected him with the 555th pick in the 18th round.

In 2013, DiToma had three more hitters earn All-MAAC accolades, as Matt Kriss (UT) was named First Team All-League, while Joe Torres (OF) and Matt Byrne (DH) were both Second Team All-League.

Prior to Iona, DiToma coached for one season at Siena and one at Temple. At Siena in 2009, he helped mentor eventual two-time MAAC Player of the Year Dan Paolini during his freshman campaign. The Saints finished fourth in the MAAC in slugging (.439) and total bases (748), and third in home runs (54).

DiToma also served as an assistant coach at Temple University during the 2008 season helping the Owls to 28 wins and a berth in the Atlantic 10 Tournament. He instructed the infielders and catchers, as the Owls reached the postseason for the first time in seven years.

Before Temple, DiToma's served on the baseball coaching staff at Manhattanville while pursuing his master's degree. He guided the College to the 2007 Skyline Conference Championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals. DiToma gained additional coaching experience as an assistant in the New England Collegiate Baseball League in the summers of 2006 and 2007, working primarily with the infielders and assisting with recruiting.

A 2005 graduate of Mercy College, DiToma earned his master's degree in physical education from Manhattanville College in 2007. He played four years as the starting second baseman at Mercy as an undergraduate, serving as team captain as a senior. As a junior, he batted .309 and was an All NYCAC selection.
