Millersville

As talented a hitter that has ever donned the Black & Gold, Dan Stoltzfus was a two-time All-PSAC East First Team selection and a 2015 All-American, anchoring three PSAC East championship teams as the clean-up hitter and first baseman.
 
Stoltzfus could do it all at the plate. His .380 career batting average ranks fifth all-time and the best by any Marauder since 1990. He set the Millersville record for RBIs with 180, smashing the previous record by 22. His 23 career home runs rank second all-time, and he graduated with the fourth-most doubles. When his career finished in 2016, Stoltzfus ranked seventh all-time among PSAC players in RBIs and was the only player in the conference’s history with two seasons of 70-plus RBIs.
 
Marauder fans saw glimpses of Stoltzfus’ talent in his first two seasons, as he hit .333 in limited opportunities as a true freshman and overcame a lengthy stint on the injured list as a sophomore to hit .305. At the end of his sophomore season, Stoltzfus doubled and scored the game-winning run against Kutztown in the NCAA Atlantic Regional, and then doubled against Mercyhurst, leading to another game-winning run in extra innings. Those postseason exploits were certainly an omen.   
 
Stoltzfus’ junior season of 2015 was one for the record books. He set single season Millersville records with 15 home runs, 81 RBIs and 136 total bases. He drove in more runs than any PSAC player in 26 years, and that earned him All-PSAC East First Team, ABCA All-Atlantic Region First Team and ABCA All-America Third Team recognition. That made Stoltzfus the first Marauder position player in 25 years to earn the coaches’ organization All-America honor. Stoltzfus hit .396 on the season, and as Millersville made a run to its first PSAC Championship in 17 years, he drove in eight runs on six hits in the PSAC Tournament. In the quarterfinals, he hit a game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth against Mercyhurst. That momentum carried into the NCAA Atlantic Regional where he went 4-for-4 in the opener, and then crushed a dramatic, walk-off home run in extra innings against Seton Hill.
 
Stoltzfus’ best was yet to come, however. In 2016, he led arguably the best lineup in team history, helping the club to a record 53 wins and an NCAA runner-up finish. Stoltzfus hit .414 with a .469 on base percentage, breaking the program record for doubles with 24 while also leading the PSAC in hits and RBIs. His 94 hits were the fourth-most in PSAC history. In Millersville’s run to the PSAC title game, an NCAA Atlantic Regional championship, and the final game of the College World Series, Stoltzfus hit .412 with 19 RBIs across 12 games. He went 3-for-4 in the regional championship game, and in the World Series, he hit .438. Stoltzfus earned All-PSAC East First Team and D2CCA All-Atlantic Region First Team recognition.
 
After graduating with a degree in occupational safety and environmental health, Stoltzfus became a safety and risk advisor for Univest Insurance. He married his wife, Brooke, in 2021.
