Maddix Dalena brings left-handed thump and first-base power to UConn
Dalena is a power-first first baseman who showed real middle-of-the-order production for UConn in 2024, batting .242 with 12 doubles, 13 home runs and 43 RBIs in 55 games, while starting 54 times at first base. His calling card is easy to see: legitimate strength, loud contact, and run-producing upside rather than empty bat-to-ball volume. At 6'3" and 218 pounds, he profiles as a durable corner infielder with enough pop to change a game quickly, making him a strong fit for teams that value impact power and physicality over finesse.
