Trapasso played two years at Jefferson College before completing his career and degree at Oklahoma State. He pitched in the 1984 College World Series, claiming the win in Game 1, and finished with the top ERA in the Big 8 Conference and in the top five in the nation. He faced arm injuries during his senior season, but was signed by the Atlanta Braves after completing his college career. Trapasso played for three years in the minors, reaching low Class A in the St. Louis Cardinals organization. Trapasso's playing career ended with the 1987 season.
Trapasso's coaching days began at Missouri as an assistant for three years, while earning a master's degree. He then moved to South Florida where he served as pitching coach, helping the Bulls to a conference title and ranking in the top 20 nationally in ERA in 1993. He then moved to Georgia Tech where he served as the top assistant and recruiting coordinator, building a young pitching staff that would deliver two Atlantic Coast Conference titles in his seven seasons. In those seven seasons, his recruiting classes all ranked in the top 20 nationally, including a top ranked class and two others in the top 10, according to Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. He was named the top national recruiter by Baseball America in 2001.
