The latest player to transfer to UConn is RHP Justin Willis, who is currently playing for the Keene Swamp Bats of the NECBL. In 4 games, Willis has an ERA of 3.72 in 9.2 innings, with 14 strikeouts, 3 walks, and 9 hits. He has 2 saves and 1 win to his credit.

Encouraging strikeout to walk ratio, even if he has given up a few hits.
 
After this past UConn season, an encouraging strikeout to walk ratio was not exactly what you would associate with Karl Johnson. However, so far this summer with the Bourne Braves, Johnson has had a big turnaround, albeit in a limited amount of work. In 4 games, Johnson has worked 8 innings, and has a 0.00 ERA, with 7 strikeouts, 1 walk, and 4 hits. Nice summer so far for him.

Christian Fedko's bat is booming on the Cape. He's hitting .351 after tonight's game.

UConn incoming recruits Andrew Marrero and Garrett Coe are now listed on the roster of the Bristol Blues of the Futures League. Incoming freshmen joining a Futures League team in the middle of the summer season is something that seems to happen pretty much every summer.

This twitter feed is slightly off. According to the box score Joe Simeone had 8 strikeouts in his 6 inning start in his third appearance for the Keene, which was by far his best for the Swamp Bats this summer season. Simeone allowed 1 run and 5 hits and gave up no walks.

Randy Polonia having quite a time out west getting a chance to strengthen his arm in the California Collegiate League. Polonia now is at 6 games and 13 innings pitched, with a 2.08 ERA, with 24 strikeouts, 7 walks, and 8 hits. The walk total is a little high, but love the ERA and all those strikeouts. Still, if he keeps this up, Polonia will be a candidate for a lot of work out of the UConn bullpen next season.

He was off for so long he might finally be getting his stamina and arm strength back. Good to see him having some success and getting some good work.

He and Karl Johnson having nice summers hopefully are a springboard for productive seasons.
 


Kevin Ferrer has had a great start with Adirondack in the Perfect Game League. .398 batting average, .519 on base percentage, .578 slugging percentage. 83 at bats, 12 doubles, 1 homer, 17 walks. He has primarily played LF, but has seen a little time in CF.

A Jimmy Wang sighting, excellent!! I'm inclined to think the reason Wang is not playing in a summer league is that they want to rest his arm over the summer, and then start to build it up again during fall ball. He probably reached some sort of innings limit during the spring season considering that he hadn't pitched all that much since high school.

Patrick Gallagher is no longer on the Westfield Starfires roster. He did very well while he was there, appearing in 6 games, with 20 innings pitched, 2.70 ERA, 2 wins, 23 strikeouts, 5 walks, and 22 hits allowed. Gallagher had one bad game where he gave up 5 earned runs in 5 innings. In the rest of his appearances, he gave up 1 earned run. An incoming freshman with a strikeout to walk ratio that he has is someone to keep an eye on.
 
Erik Stock, who recently announced that he is transferring to UConn from ODU, is now playing summer ball with the Sanford Mainers of the NECBL. Since he started playing for Sanford in early July, Stock is hitting .308, with a .386 on base percentage, and a .487 slugging percentage in 39 at bats. Stock has been playing 1B and 3B for the Mainers.
 
Based on summer performances so far, Kevin Ferrer seems like a guy who could really break out as a RS Freshman

Kevin Ferrer and Andy Hague are both having an excellent summer playing for the Adirondack Trail Blazers. In 106 at bats, Ferrer is hitting .406 and has 22 walks to go along with that. He has turned into something of a doubles machine with 15 on the summer season. Hague is currently hitting .353, and has 11 stolen bases in 102 at bats. Hopefully they can both carry their excellent performances over the summer into the fall ball season at UConn.
