Maddix Dalena is UConn’s power bat with preseason star buzz
In the 2025 season, Maddix Dalena entered as UConn’s Preseason BIG EAST Player of the Year and backed that hype with a big offensive reputation: he was a 6-foot-3, 239-pound left-handed first baseman who hit .242 with 13 home runs and 43 RBI in 2024, then delivered one of UConn’s loudest 2026 moments with a four-hit, two-homer, nine-RBI eruption against Georgetown. He’s the kind of corner bat coaches love—physical, middle-of-the-order damage, and capable of changing a game with one swing.
