Former major leaguer Dan Morogiello began sharing his wisdom with the NJIT pitchers when he joined the coaching staff in 2004-05.

Morogiello, a 1976 third-round draft choice of the Atlanta Braves, played a total of 10 professional seasons, reaching the majors with the 1983 World Series champion Baltimore Orioles for whom he posted a 2.39 ERA in 22 relief appearances.

Before turning pro, Morogiello pitched two seasons at Seton Hall, leading the Pirates to the 1975 College World Series. Following his professional career, he pitched 10 more years in the Met League and was inducted into the Bergen County (NJ) Hall of Fame. Still active in over-30 leagues, Morogiello was pitching coach at Hunterdon Central Regional HS from 1999-2002.

He and his wife, Nancy, have two daughters, Vanessa, 26, and Jenna, 14. Son Dan is completing his college career in 2008 with three seasons in as NJIT's starting second baseman.
