2025 Season Review

This year’s Royals were led by 12 seniors: Nico Amodeo, Luke Greene, Maddux Haworth, Johnny Jaffe, Will Manship, Drew Nelson, Jack Oncale, Daylan Powers, Sam Roeder, J.P. Roseli, Rudy Schoettle and Austin Walker. The Royals were hoping for a long postseason run, but even after a loss in the sectional championship, there was still a lot to be proud of for the 2025 baseball season. 

The team finished with a 24-5 record, and they won both the Marion County Championship and the Circle City Conference Championship in a matter of two days. This was the first time Roncalli was crowned Marion County Champions since 2018, and it was the second year in a row the Royals took home the Circle City Conference Championship. Several Royals were named All-Marion County 1st Team, including junior Collin Ash, Drew Nelson and Sam Roeder. Junior Jaiden Kuria and sophomore Gio Ardizzone were named All-Marion County 2nd team, and Coach Vitorrio was named Marion County Coach of the Year. He was also recognized as the District Coach of the Year, and the following players were All-District: Drew Nelson (District Player of the Year), Sam Roeder and Luke Greene. All-Circle City Conference honors went to Drew Nelson, Sam Roeder, Luke Greene, Collin Ash and Gio Ardizzone. Roncalli will be represented on the All-State South Team by Drew Nelson this summer. Roncalli end-of-season recognitions went to Rudy Schoettle for both the Mental Attitude Award and Leadership Award. Will Manship was recognized with the Sportsmanship Award, and Collin Ash was named the MVP. 

Coach Vittorio likes to call Roncalli High School the “School of Champions”, and the Royal Baseball Program will stay on track to continue to compete for championships.
