Dan Cellucci

Dan Cellucci is in his second season as the team’s volunteer assistant coach. Cellucci brings valuable experience in both the collegiate and minor league baseball fields after a four-year playing career at Bryant and an internship with the Greenville Drive in the Boston Red Sox organization. Cellucci will work with the team’s defensive positioning and baserunning as well as coaching first base.

In his first season with the Stags, the squad legged out 111 doubles, the second most in program history. They were also successful on 74 percent of their stolen base attempts. Defensively, the Stags hold a .971 field percentage, the second best in the conference. Shortstop Noah Lucier was named a Brooks Wallace Award Semifinalist, recognizing the best shortstops in the country. Lucier has just three errors all season.

Cellucci played four years as a shortstop at Bryant where he helped the Bulldogs to three NEC Championships while winning the NEC Regular Season in all four seasons. His best year came during his senior campaign when he batted a career-high .312 while starting all 59 games. He would be named an All-NEC First Team honoree as well as earning a spot on the All-New England Third Team. His 184 games played still ranks eighth all-time in Bryant program history while his 442 assists places him third.

After his collegiate playing days, Cellucci served as a player development intern for the Greenville Drive in the Boston Red Sox organization. In that position, he was responsible for advanced scouting reports, capturing and analyzing video, and also covered the California League as a Pro Scout.

Cellucci’s first coaching position came last year as a volunteer assistant coach for Merrimack College where he was responsible for the development of positional player defense and helped shortstop Nick Shumski earn the D2 Rawlings Gold Glove Award.
