Rhode Island’s Gian Martellini Named New York Boulders Rookie of the Year
The New York Boulders is one of sixteen teams that make up the Frontier League, an independent professional baseball league. Gian Martellini (Johnston and Bishop Hendricken High School) is a catcher with the New York Boulders. I saw an Instagram post a few days back from Hendricken Baseball touting that Martellini had been playing professionally and was doing phenomenal this summer. So, I reached out to the Frontier League to learn more.
According to Ken Kostik, Director of Media Relations for the New York Boulders, “Gian was tabbed as the New York Boulders‘ Rookie of the Year. They are finishing out the regular season this weekend.” Martellini, who I had the honor of interviewing a few years back when he was playing for Wareham in the Cape Cod League, had a phenomenal year in his first year of professional baseball with the Boulders, batting .280 and playing in 48 games with the Boulders. Here is a photo from the BHHS Instagram post:
Great accomplishment for this Rhode Island native!!! And continued success to Gian in his professional career!

The RIBBE is The Rhode Island Baseball Experience. It is promoting the game of baseball here in the great state of Rhode Island for the entire baseball world to see. The RIBBE is positive stories, photos, videos, and responsible social media posts. The RIBBE is an information resource for families looking for an AAU team or a summer camp or a great place to buy a first baseman’s mitt. The RIBBE is a network of coaches, tournament directors, parents, leagues, and baseball junkies whose passion of the game of baseball is unquestioned. I believe that providing expert analysis, information and directions to ballfields, and coaching advice from some of the top RI baseball minds will help promote the game of baseball here in RI to a whole new level.
