Joe Tiroly Heads to Padres | San Diego Padres News

Joe Tiroly’s college baseball journey just hit the big leagues—drafted by the San Diego Padres in the seventh round, he’s the fourth Virginia player selected this year. In just one season with the Cavaliers, he dominated: led the team in hits, homers, RBIs, and total bases, and smashed over .500 in both the ACC and NCAA Tournaments. He started every game despite a broken foot, proving his grit. Before Virginia, he was a two-time All-MAAC honoree and MAAC Player of the Year at Rider, where his coach pushed him to transfer. Scouts loved his powerful, consistent swing and on-base ability, and teammates rave about his complete game and fun energy. With a career OPS over 1.055, Tiroly’s path from Rider to Virginia to the Padres is a blueprint of dedication—and his pro career is just beginning.
