New Jersey Institute of Technology Athletics

2012: This season, back for his last year of college eligibility and was the team's best hitter in the early going, batting over .400 through the first 14 games. He was still hitting in the mid-.300s when he suffered an injury to his left (non-throwing) shoulder in April. After some rest, he attempted a comeback in early May, but the injury was such that the shoulder would pop out when he attempted baseball activities and even some times as innocuous as pre-game stretching.  Having played two games since apparently shutting down after April 21 with the injury, D'Aloia returned for one inning as a defensive replacement in the last regular season series. However, he started both GWC Tournament games and got the triple on Wednesday. He finishes batting .288 in 36 of the team's 52 games, with five doubles, two triples, two home runs, and 24 runs batted in. Despite missing 16 full games, he led the 2012 Highlanders in bases-on-balls (22) and his .419 on-base percentage was best among players with more than 35 plate appearances.
