Bill Weber's pitching prowess vaulted Westfield State College into national prominence in baseball in the 1970s. During his senior season in 1975, the Owls posted the best record in school history (32-8) and earned their first ever bid to the NCAA Tournament, where they played six games before losing to Montclair State in the Northeast regional finals. 

Weber set school records during his senior season that still stand today for victories (9), pitching starts (12), and innings pitched (83 2/3). He was selected to the Massachusetts State all conference team and was a team captain. 

During his junior year, Weber became the first Westfield State baseball player to be named to an NCAA District All-Star team, as well as All New England. He compiled a 6-2 record and a 1.09 earned run average. He pitched 57 innings, allowing only 41 hits, seven earned runs and 19 walks, while striking out 44. 

The Dedham native played in the prestigious Cape Cod League during the summer of 1974 for the Yarmouth Red Sox. He was named the Most Valuable Player in the Brockton Invitational in 1975, and led East Bridgewater to the Cranberry League championship the same year. 

He resides in Florida with his wife, Susan, also a Westfield State graduate. They have two daughters: Alyssa and Sara. 

Weber has been employed with CVS Corporation. He also is a certified fitness trainer affiliated with the International Sports Sciences Association.
