Dalton Neuschwander graduated from the University of West Florida (UWF), where he established himself as a three year starting pitcher for the Argonauts’ baseball team. The Alabama-born athlete, 6’1”, 200-pound right-hander, started his college career at Coastal Alabama South before moving to UWF, where he developed into the baseball team’s foundational starter. He developed into a leading college baseball talent within Division II since transferring to UWF.
On 07/14/2025, with pick No. 304 in the 10th round of the 2025 Major League Baseball draft the Baltimore Orioles selected Neuschwander. "Getting drafted has been a dream come true," Neuschwander said. "I first want to give all glory to God. He blessed me with the ability to play baseball and I want to glorify him every time I play. I wouldn't have been able to accomplish this without God, my family, teammates, coaches and friends who have supported me along the way. I will forever be indebted to UWF for helping me accomplish my dreams. This is just the beginning. I want to represent UWF in The Show."
