John Natoli joined the Blue Devils’ staff in August of 2024 and serves as the program’s director of baseball operations and pitching development.
Natoli, a former right-hander for Duke in 2022, was a part of the 2024 squad’s run to the program’s second ACC Tournament Championship. In his new role, the Fairfield, Connecticut, native assists with coordinating all on-campus recruiting visits, serves as the Duke Baseball Camp Director, and manages all day-to-day responsibilities of the baseball program.
He also handles all team travel, and meals, and helps with the daily operation of all baseball technology that the program uses including Trackman, Synergy, TruMedia, and Kinatrax.
Following his time as a player for Duke, Natoli spent a year and a half with the Glacier Range Riders of the Pioneer League. While in Kalispell, Montana, Natoli posted a 4-0 record, tallied three saves, and struck out 50 batters in 42 appearances across two seasons.
Before he arrived in Durham, Natoli enjoyed a four-year career at Cornell where he was named a unanimous selection as the lone relief pitcher on the All-Ivy League First Team in 2019. He posted a 5-2 record in that season, posting a team-best 1.72 ERA, and was dominant out of the bullpen yielding an ERA of 0.77. He held opponents to a .178 batting average and allowed just two of his 18 inherited runners to score.
Natoli is originally from Fairfield, Connecticut. He currently resides in Durham.
