Michael  with Derek Jeter

My name is Michael Pesci.  I am  a 17 year old baseball player in my Senior year at DePaul Catholic High School.  I have been playing baseball since  I was 4 years old.  I am currently a pitcher and an infielder.  When I was 11 years old I organized  my first "Perfect Pitch" Home Run Derby .  My passion and love of the game of baseball is the inspiration behind  this charity. I thought the Derby would be a great way to get people involved in community service.  In just six years, the "Perfect Pitch" Home Run Derby has raised over $150,000,for mentally and physically handicapped children and young adults and  for sports programs for disadvantaged youth. My goal was to raise $100,000 by the time I graduated high school.  Now that I have achieved this goal, it is my hope to continue raising as much money as I can for this worthy cause. If you would like to contact me, please e-mail me at   or call me at (973) 263-3585 and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
