Watch: Former OSU Infielder Roc Riggio Hits Walk-Off Home Run in Minors

Roc Riggio made plenty of highlight-worthy plays in his time playing at O’Brate Stadium, and that hasn’t changed since he started his professional career.

Riggio hit a walk-off home run on Friday night for the Hudson Valley Renegades, the High-A affiliate of the New York Yankees. The solo shot broke a scoreless tie and secured a combined no-hitter for the Renegades. One of the three pitchers who combined for that no-hitter was former Cowboy Hueston Morrill.

The Yankees took Riggio in the fourth round of last year’s MLB Draft. In 67 games with Hudson Valley this season, Riggio is hitting .222 with 16 doubles, three triples, seven home runs and 27 RBIs.

Riggio is considered the No. 18 prospect in the Yankees organization, according to MLB.com.

He also made a highlight play in the field earlier this season. From short, Riggio ran back into shallow center field and caught a looping fly ball over his shoulder, but it didn’t stop there. Riggio hopped over a sliding centerfielder and chucked the ball back toward second base from his rump to secure a double play.
