Head Coaching Record |
MLB Draft Selections
Mike Glavine – the four-time CAA Coach of the Year (2017, 2018, 2021, 2023), 2018 NEIBA (New England) Coach of the Year, 2018 ABCA/Diamond Northeast Region Coach of the Year, and two-time ECAC Coach of the Year (2018, 2023) – wrapped up his ninth season as head coach of the Northeastern baseball team and 17th season overall with the program, having previously served as the Huskies’ full-time assistant and recruiting coordinator. He was named Neil McPhee’s successor as head coach during September 2013 and took the reigns of the program upon McPhee’s retirement at the conclusion of the 2014 season, following McPhee’s 29th year at Northeastern.
Under Glavine, the Huskies have a 274-194-1 overall record while going 124-73 in CAA play and three NCAA appearances, including the program's only two at large bids.
In one of the most record-setting seasons in Northeastern Baseball history, Glavine's Huskies went 44-16 in 2023 with an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Huskies had their winningest season in program history, earning the program's first ever Top-25 ranking from D1Baseball.com, and breaking several team and individual offensive records, including wins, home runs (106), runs scored (459), hits (614), batting average (tied, .295), slugging % (.510), on-base % (.395), and walks (226). Center fielder Mike Sirota set a new record in runs scored with 73 on the season, and third baseman Danny Crossen put up a program-best 84 hits, with a 60-game on-base streak dating back to 2022. He was named CAA Coach of the Year for the fourth time in his career, finishing with a conference record of 20-10 and a tournament runner-up appearance, and ECAC Coach of the Year.
The Huskies claimed another winning record in 2022, the sixth in Glavine's head coaching career, going 31-29-1 and reaching the CAA Championship game for the second straight season. Glavine's Huskies recorded four wins over top-20 opponents including a weekend sweep of #8 NC State, and handing #18 Clemson their first loss of the season.
Glavine guided the Huskies to a 20-3 CAA record in 2021, their first CAA Championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament including a program best 20-game win streak overall and CAA record 19-game win streak to open conference play, earning him Coach of the Year honors for 2021. Glavine led the Huskies to a final RPI ranking of No 34.
Glavine led the Huskies to a final RPI ranking of No. 11 in 2020, before the season was canceled due to the global pandemic Coronavirus.
Baseball America did a vote by coaches around the country in April 2020 and Coach Glavine earned the fourth-most votes as the 'most underrated College Baseball Coach' (
story here). He earned his 150th win at Northeastern in a 10-0 victory over South Florida (2/22/20) as the Huskies picked up series wins against USF and Florida Atlantic before the season was halted.
Glavine guided Northeastern to consecutive CAA regular-season titles during 2017 and '18 – the Huskies’ first within any conference since 2005 (America East). He has also led the Huskies back to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2003, earning an at-large bid during 2018 after winning a program record, 36 games, including the program’s first three victories against the SEC, and attaining a top-40 RPI.
Glavine steered Northeastern to the best fielding percentage in the CAA (.975), one that led the conference in double plays turned (58) and housed the 2017 CAA Defensive Player of the Year, shortstop Max Burt en route to capturing the CAA regular-season crown. Coupled with a pitching staff that combined to post a 3.88 ERA during league games, the Huskies went 16-7 during the conference calendar, winning the pennant by a half game ahead of UNCW. Glavine’s success merited him CAA Coach of the Year honors.
Since becoming head coach, Glavine has coached nine Northeastern players to MLB Draft selections and a program-best three selections in 2019 with pitchers Sean Mellen (14th Rd./Dodgers) and Andrew Misiaszek (32nd Rd./Indians) and first baseman Jake Farrell (39th Rd./Yankees). During the 2016 MLB Draft, Glavine became the first head coach in Northeastern history to witness two players (Civale and Hunt) be selected during the draft’s opening 10 rounds with Civale’s selection at 92nd overall standing as the third highest NU draft pick all-time.
Under Glavine, the Huskies have produced a pitching draft pick or signee to Major League Baseball organizations in four of six seasons. During that time, the Huskies have been consistently one of the top pitching staffs in the CAA.
At the helm of the Huskies for his second season during 2016, Glavine led Northeastern to its fifth 30-win campaign (31) in program history. Opening the year on the road against No. 30 Oklahoma, he navigated NU to consecutive upset wins versus the ranked Sooners, delivering the program its first-ever victories against a Big 12 opponent. Returning to the CAA tournament for the fourth straight season and second in a row under Glavine, the fifth-seeded Huskies outperformed two higher-seeded teams (No. 3 Elon, No. 4 James Madison), finishing as one of the conference’s final four teams left standing. Under Glavine’s guidance, Northeastern observed two student-athletes go on to claim CAA postseason awards during 2016: right-hander Aaron Civale (Pitcher of the Year) and catcher Josh Treff (Defensive Player of the Year). That season, the CAA handed out 11 conference awards to eight of Glavine’s players, including six All-CAA selections. Civale also became the first Northeastern player since 2012 to garner status as a Louisville Slugger All-American, having been selected to the Third Team.
Glavine made a smooth transition into his first head-coaching role during the 2015 campaign, leading NU to 14 CAA victories, the most the program had witnessed since its inaugural run through the conference during 2006 (19). Under his first-year mentorship, Northeastern achieved its first top-three, regular-season finish in the CAA in nine years and downed No. 15 College of Charleston, earning the program its first victory against an NCBWA ranked opponent since 2008. He also coached six student-athletes to CAA postseason awards, most notably placing starting pitcher Dustin Hunt on the All-CAA Second Team.
A native of Billerica, Massachusetts, Glavine spent four years at Northeastern and left as one of the most prolific hitters in the Huskies’ history. He made a big splash during his freshman season, batting .307 and pounding 19 extra-base hits, including a school record, nine triples. Glavine graduated having hit 28 career home runs and accumulated 110 career RBIs, ranking him third and ninth at the time, respectively, in the school’s record book. The left-handed slugger also walked 120 times during his four seasons at NU, ranking him second all-time upon completing his final collegiate campaign.
After graduating from Northeastern, Glavine spent 10 seasons in professional baseball after being drafted by the Cleveland Indians during 1995, alternating between the Double A and Triple A levels. During September 2003, the New York Mets called Glavine up to the major leagues, where he played with his older brother, Tom. He notched his one and only major league hit during his final game with the Mets on Sept. 28, 2003, recording a single off Florida Marlins closer Braden Looper. Glavine became the third Northeastern alumni to ever play in the major leagues, joining George Yankowski (1942, 1949) and Carlos Pena (2001-14).
Retiring from the pro ranks in 2004, Glavine now resides in Lexington, Massachusetts, with his wife, Carissa, their two daughters, Ava and Sophia, and their son, Luke.
