Stony Brook University Athletics

Tropeano is another in a long line of baseball standouts that have gone on to play at the professional level. Following his junior season in 2011, he was selected in the fifth round of the 2011 MLB Amateur Draft by the Houston Astros and three years later became the third former Seawolf to reach the major leagues when he made his debut with the big league club. 
 
During his three year career as a Seawolf, Tropeano earned 25 victories on the mound that was, at the time, tied for the school record, and posted a 2.85 career ERA, the program's All-time Division I record and fourth best overall. His 12 victories in 2011 topped the America East Conference and still stands as the single-season record along with fellow HOF inductee Tyler Johnson (12 in 2012). He struck out 275 batters, the fourth most in Stony Brook history.
 
Tropeano is currently a starting pitcher in the Los Angeles Angels rotation.
