Induction:

Class:
1994

Boretti served notice he was going to be something special when he homered in his first collegiate at-bat at Coastal Carolina. He went on to become the most prolific hitting catcher in Wildcat history, earning two All-Southern Conference first-team honors, and still remains as the only Davidson player to be named to the All-SoCon Tournament team. Boretti's junior year was his best, when he led the squad with a .386 average and slugged .705 with 17 doubles and 13 home runs (with just 13 strikeouts) while driving in 48. A model of durability, he started all but two games at catcher in his last three years, plus set school records for being hit by a pitch in a season (16) and a career (25). Among career records, Boretti ranks first in sacrifice flies, second in doubles, fourth in total bases, fifth in RBIs, tied for fifth in home runs, eighth in games played and tenth in batting average. As head coach at Columbia, he led the Lions to their first Ivy League Championship in 32 years in 2008.
