Mike Glavine begins his first season as an assistant coach at Northeastern in 2007. Glavine will work primarily with Northeastern’s infielders and hitters. A native of Billerica, Mass., Glavine was inducted into the Northeastern Hall of Fame in 2006 for excellence in the sport of baseball and brings with him 10 years of experience at the professional level. Glavine spent four years at Northeastern and left as one of the most prolific hitters in Huskies history. He made a big splash in his freshman season, as he batted .307 with 19 extra-base hits, including a school-record nine triples. In his career, the first baseman hit 28 home runs and knocked in 110 RBI, which placed him third and ninth, respectively, in the school’s all-time record books. The left-handed slugger also accumulated 120 career walks, good for second all-time at Northeastern, as well as a .552 slugging percentage. After graduating from Northeastern, Glavine spent 10 seasons in professional baseball after being drafted by the Cleveland Indians in 1995, with most time coming at the Double A and Triple A levels. In 2003, Glavine was called up to the major leagues by the New York Mets for the final month of the season, where he played with his older brother, Tom. He got his first major league hit in his last game with the Mets, on Sept. 28, 2003 against the Florida Marlins. He became the third Husky to play in the major leagues, joining George Yankowski and Carlos Pena. Glavine, who retired from baseball in 2004, is a co-owner of Future Stars in Dracut, Mass. The facility offers baseball and softball instruction as well as personalized strength and conditioning programs for young players. Glavine, who has previously coached AAU teams in addition to teaching private lessons and group camps, is responsible for the day-to-day operations of Future Stars.
