After wrapping up the last two seasons of his playing career with the River Hawks, Joe DeLanzo stays in the Mill City as an assistant coach. He transitions from team captain to a coaching role at UMass Lowell.
“Joe comes to us after a very successful career as a River Hawk player,” said Head Coach Nick Barese. “He was a captain during his final season and was a mainstay in our lineup at third base. He’s incredibly enthusiastic about the opportunity to step into coaching, and has already shown a relentless work ethic.”
DeLanzo hit .269 in 77 games with UMass Lowell and was the toughest player in the nation to strike out last season. As a regular in the lineup, he started all 52 games in 2026, driving in 28 runs and scoring 19. He also played two seasons at Stony Brook, appearing in 23 games.
