I know we normally have a summer ball thread but I thought it would be good to get this out there!!! Great for Andrew, hopefully he has a great szn, he’s got some electric stuff

Was looking at some of the Cape League rosters and saw that Bobby McBride and Reggie Crawford are going to be playing for the Bourne Braves
Considering as a true freshman he got some playing time in the infield in the shortened season last year, I figured Todd Petersen would be in the mix for potential playing time for UConn this season. Instead, he has blended in very well with the dugout bench in Storrs. Given that he had some nice moments in New Britain last summer, one would think his chance for playing time there would be pretty good this coming summer.
That's actually a strange story, isn't it. Given that we had two mercy rule games this homestand, the fact that they couldn't/didn't put him on the field when they were putting Morton and Langer and Hague made me wonder if he was injured. Or there is/was a disciplinary issue. He didn't set the world on fire last year but he wasn't bad either. He was more than decent enough that it's hard to understand why he couldn't even get garbage time appearances.
I heard earlier today that UConn baseball's Director of Player Development/Analytics Devin Belenski is the new manager of the Norwich Sea Unicorns of the Futures League. Chris Jones just mentioned it during the Rhode Island game.
Chris Jones also mentioned that Korey Morton will play this summer in Norwich. I'm looking forward to seeing him play, as I expect to go to a number of games.
