2025 Mets Draft profile: Anthony Frobose

Related Topics: Jonathan de Marte

Anthony Frobose is a native of Yorktown Heights, a town in Westchester that boasts more congress members (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), First Ladies (Rita Karen Olsen Beck, First Lady of Coasta Rica), professional wrestlers (Mandy Rose), and Russian spies (Robert Hanssen) than it does professional baseball players who made it to the major leagues; Yorktown Heights even boasts more Steve Cohens than it does ballplayers who made it to the MLB, though their Steve Cohen is known for being a magician with props and illusions rather than Great Neck’s Steve Cohen, who is known for being a magician with finances. The closest Yorktown Heights has to a native son making it to the MLB is Jonathan de Marte, the two-time Gatorade Player of the Year (New York) who pitched for the University of Richmond but was never drafted and spent the next year years playing in a handful of independent leagues as well as the Israeli National Team.
