Hasani Whitfield was an outstanding hitter on some of Caldwell’s best teams, ranking among the all-time leaders in several categories. He batted .346 for his career and counted 17 home runs among his then-school record 186 hits. Whitfield’s teams also were successful, as the Cougars won their first CACC regular-season title in 2003 and captured the 2004 conference tournament to advance to the NCAA Northeast Region Tournament for the first time. A three-time, all-CACC first team honoree, Whitfield made the all-region team in both 2004 and 2005. His best season was his last, batting .366 with 14 doubles, six homers, 41 RBI and 17 stolen bases as a senior. That production earned him CACC Player of the Year accolades.
“All of my teammates came from different backgrounds, but we really meshed on and off the field,” he remembers. “Each of us brought different elements to the team. I’m honored to have been able to play with such good players who helped me get to the Hall of Fame.”
A native of Briarwood, N.Y., Whitfield is the co-owner of Gamers Baseball Academy in Kenilworth, N.J., and is a coach with Hobos Baseball Club.
