From Xaverian to No-Hit Glory: Allegretti’s No-No in Colombia Professional Baseball

Christian Allegretti, who pitched for the Staten Island FerryHawks of the independent Atlantic League in 2024 and ’03, fired a no-hitter–the first in Colombia Professional Baseball since 1979, per the LPB–on Saturday, for Caimanes-Olímpica.

In addition to pitching professionally for the FerryHawks, Allegretti played with the Aigles de Trois-Rivières of the Frontier League in 2022.

Allegretti is a Brooklyn native who played at Bryant University and Xaverian High School in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

The 25-year-old earned the team Pitcher of the Year award as a junior at Xaverian, and he also played soccer at the high school.
