After years starring at Millburn High School, Short Hills resident Peter Serruto is living out a dream having signed a new deal with his hometown. The New York Yankees. The catcher, who played for both Rutgers and Indiana universities after graduating, celebrated his new team with a post on Instagram announcing that he has agreed to join the organization with their minor league affiliate in the Florida Complex League.

Serruto was an all-Big Ten selection behind the plate for Rutgers and earned all-Big Ten Academic honors. Before he was drafted, he appeared in 84 games for Indiana as a senior while pursuing degrees in learning sciences, media, and technology.
