BIO:

Tim Cocco launched his playing career almost 25 years ago after playing baseball at Northern Kentucky University, and quickly developed into one of the game’s most potent left-handed power hitters.  First he competed locally with the Northern Kentucky Knights, then at the state level after catching the attention of fellow Northern Kentuckian Red Moore, sponsor of Red’s Boys.  He quickly vaulted up the ladder to regional competition with Planet Softball, earning Kentucky co-Major Player of the Year honors.  Then for the next 20 years, Tim exploded onto the Major level, starring with national powerhouses like R & D, Bell Corp, Budweiser, Chase, Sunbelt, Dan Smith, Long Haul, Jean Shoppe, Red’s Astros and Team Combat.  In 2002 Chase captured the USSSA Men’s Major World Series, and Tim was the home run leader and tournament Most Valuable Player.  In 2005 he won his second Series home run title with Bell Corp and was named Outstanding Offensive Player.  He collected his third home run crown with Jean Shoppe despite a 7th place finish.  Tim won an unprecedented three consecutive USSSA national home run derbies from 2009- ’11.  In World Series play since 2000, he is ranked 2nd in home runs and rbi’s, and in the top ten in hits and batting average.  Tim is a member of the “All-Disney Team,” and in 2012 set a Conference USSSA record for home runs and rbi’s, and was named Offensive Player of the Year.  In 2013 in Ft. Myers, FL, he was inducted into the USSSA National Hall of Fame.
