Stevens Institute of Technology Athletics

Coach Taps says: "Dan comes to Stevens with ample experience pitching out of the bullpen for one of the best teams in the state. His resume as a late-innings specialist should serve him well in his adjustment to the college level. He is a tremendous competitor and showed some impressive stuff + strike-throwing ability throughout the fall and preseason."
