Dacey's collegiate career began at Michigan, but he didn't get into game action with the Wolverines, and he opted to transfer to Richmond. As a rising sophomore, Dacey starred in the summer Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League, where he showed off his plus raw power and won the league's home run derby.
