One of the most decorated baseball players in program history, Muchie Dagliere guided the Minutemen to four A-10 Division Championships and two A-10 Tournament Championships.

A four-year starting second baseman, Dagliere is the only player in program history to earn three All-America honors. He also holds program records for longest hitting streak (31 games), hits (257), RBI (176), runs (184) and batting average (.381).

Then as a sophomore in 1996, he had a .415 batting average, 81 hits, 60 runs, 53 RBI and 13 doubles. The 81 hits set the UMass record for hits in a season en route to earning First-Team All-Atlantic 10 honors, First-Team All-New England honors and Second-Team All-Northeast Region honors. As a junior in 1997, he posted a .318 batting average, 47 hits, 36 runs and 36 RBIs and was a Second Team All-Atlantic 10 selection and a Third Team NCBWA All-America honoree. Then as a senior in 1998, he posted the seventh-best batting average in the country at .444, added 67 hits, scored 39 runs and totaled 49 RBI. He closed out his career by being a First Team Atlantic-10 and All-New England selection and earned First-Team All- Northeast Region honors. He also was a Third-Team ABCA All-American honoree and a Second-Team NCBWA All-American. The .444 batting average remains the top single-season mark in program history.
