Daniel Joseph Morogiello (born March 26, 1955) is an American former 1976 third-round draft choice of the Atlanta Braves. He played a total of 10 professional seasons, reaching the majors with the 1983 World Series champion Baltimore Orioles.
On June 5, 1974, Morogiello was drafted in the eighth-round out of Canarsie High School but chose not to sign. Instead, he went on to pitch two seasons at Seton Hall University for head coach Mike Sheppard, leading the Pirates to the 1975 College World Series. Following his professional career, he pitched 10 more years in the Met League and was inducted into the Bergen County (NJ) Hall of Fame. Active in over-30 leagues for several years after that, Morogiello also served as pitching coach at Hunterdon Central Regional HS from 1999 to 2002. In 2004, he joined the NJIT Baseball coaching staff where he became a volunteer assistant in working with the NJIT pitching staff.
