IPA SECOND ALL-DECADE TEAM 2011-2020

LF ROCCO BELASARIO (2005-2026)
Arlon's fabulous center fielder Rocco Belasario was one of the best player ever in the IPA. In a career spanning 3023 games, Belasario batted .301 with 3076 hits, 508 home runs, 1658 RBIs, 2116 runs scored and 1840 walks. He is 8th in walks all-time, 5th in runs scored, 18th in games played and number one in stolen bases.

For most of his career Belasario played in obscurity, but brilliantly. Arlon went to the postseason only 3 times and never come close to winning the Pro Cup in his tenure. But Belasario excelled with 9 All-Star selections and 5 Golden Gloves. The swift Belasario holds the all-time IPA mark for stolen bases with 1023, almost 200 better than second place Jet Kazmarek. 7 times Belasario led the Tycobbian Union in thefts. In limited postseason action he hit .263 with an impressive on-base percentage of .404, 2 homers, 6 RBIs and scored 15 runs in 23 games, while stealing 11 bases.

Belasario was 40, when he retired. He played 19 seasons with Arlon and 22 years in the league. The gifted outfielder gained entrance into the Islandian Pro Alliance Hall of Fame in 2027.
