Dilone began his career as a September call-up in 1974 at the age of 19. Used primarily as a pinch runner with the Pirates, he had 21 stolen bases in four seasons.
In 1978 he was traded to the A's where he stole 50 bases, but 1980 was his career season. Batting .341, he had 30 doubles, 9 triples and 61 stolen bases with the Indians.

Miguel was also famous for his "swing-and-run" tactic of breaking from the box while swinging the bat.[citation needed]
In 2009 he lost an eye when a baseball struck him in the face. At the time he was coaching his son and a 15-year-old prospect.[1]
