Gotta love that Amity/Sal Coppola pipeline... Andy's brother Teddy was a pitcher on the team as well.
Twin brother...Teddy is a left-handed, OF/P

Great kids both great students with great character, from a great family. I've coached them and gotten to know them very well. I heard that Andy was close to committing. He's a tough, hand-nosed kid. High energy, tireless work ethic. Slick- fielding 2B, with great speed. He's a great fit for the program.

Andy Hague certainly sounds like the type of player that Coach Penders would be interested in.

2017 1B Matt Bonvicini of Holy Cross HS and CT Edge has committed to @UConnBaseball congrats! #ctbase

Not ranked
This left-handed hitter has major juice in his hands. The ball jumps off his bat, he drove it well to both gaps.
At first base, his footwork needs improvement. He has soft hands and can catch the ball, but needs to have his feet in the correct place. If he gets his body into better shape, it will allow him to do some serious damage offensively.

I'm so proud to announce my commitment to UConn. Thank you to everyone who's helped my along the way. #BleedBlue

Class of 2018. 6-0 180lb RHP out of Windsor Locks CT.
(Hope he has very broad shoulders w/ that last name ;))

If Tim should ever get to the Major Leagues, at 14 letters he would tie Jarrod Saltalamacchia for longest last name for any one to ever play in MLB. Obviously, that possibility is a bit down the road.

St. John's Prep 2018 3B Mike Yarin just committed to UConn, per head coach Dan Letarte



Also a DB/RB on SJP's Football Team.


St. John's Prep 3B Mike Yarin commits to UConn

>>Yarin, considered one of the Bay State's top 2018 bats, started the spring hitting leadoff for the Eagles, before moving to the No. 3 spot a quarter of the way through the season. He totaled 23 RBI and hit .317 on the year as he played a key cog in the Prep's run to a second straight MIAA Division 1A State Final appearance. Yarin was also named a Catholic Conference All-Star for 2016.<<

2018 recruit Pat Winkel is on the roster for the Area Code Games Northeast team playing in Long Beach next week.
Only UConn recruit, and 1 of only 2 players from the class of 2018 (rest are all 2017).

It's cool that Lucas committed. If anyone remembers the Fairfield LL team that went to the World Series in 2012, he was their best player. Even threw a no hitter for them against Indiana. Awesome to see a prospect with potential like that stay on track and get to the point where he's good enough to play for us.

Penders has quietly been doing a really good job of bringing home high-caliber CT talent from that part of the state. Fairfield County kids tend to be predisposed towards programs like Duke and UNC, but the more inroads we can make against them, the better.

That more or less confirms the good feeling I was getting about UConn recruiting over the next couple of years. In addition, I've read some good things about the recruiting class that is due to show up in Storrs the year before for the 2018 season, with players like Christian Fedko and Luke Broadhurst. Have you seen any rankings on that class?
