• The Huskies really like what they’ve seen from their transfers so far this fall, particularly lefthanded pitcher
Andrew Sears and righthanded pitcher
Stephen Quigley. Sears has been up to 93-94 mph with his fastball, while Quigley has been up to 93.
Dom Freeberger is a graduate transfer who will be a Swiss-army knife for the Huskies. He can legitimately play every position on the field, and he’s up to 94 mph on the mound. Another Wheaton transfer, outfielder
Jake Studley has impressed with his pop at the plate. As for first-year players, freshman
Ryan Daniels is making a strong first impression. Daniels has some serious power from the left side of the plate and should make an immediate impact, particularly from a power standpoint.
• In terms of returning players,
David Smith and
Korey Morton brought the speed to the diamond for UConn’s annual Scout Day. Smith ran a 6.4 60-yard-dash while Morton ran a 6.29. As for returning pitchers, sophomore righthanded pitcher
Brady Afthim and fellow righty
Jake Sullivan have both been up to 93 this fall.
