College summer ball - UConn players

UConn baseball has quickly put out another update to the summer ball assignment list. A new player is listed, Michael Woodworth, who is playing for the Neptune Beach Pearl of the California Collegiate League. Woodworth is a JUCO from Sierra College, where he was a teammate of Jeffrey Kertsen, another California JUCO recruit of the Huskies. Woodworth played CF this past season for Sierra College.

The New London Day has a preview story on the Mystic Schooners. In that story, they mention a player from Avery Point:

"First baseman/outfielder Vinnie Pallisco contributed to UConn-Avery Point's run to the NJCAA Division II World Series. He'll join the Huskies in Storrs in the fall."

Orbe optimistic about defending NECBL champion Schooners

Since Vinnie Pallisco was not mentioned in the updated UConn summer ball assignments, I'm guessing he is a walk on who is not guaranteed a spot on the Storrs roster for next season.

Vinnie Pallisco is no longer on the Mystic Schooners roster.

In either the Friday or Saturday edition of the New London Day, there was a feature story on a Mystic Schooner player. At the end of the article, there were additional small blurbs on other Schooner happenings. One of the other blurbs was that Vinnie Pallisco's temporary contract with the team had expired, so he was no longer on the roster.
 


>>Connecticut lefty Tim Cate is well known for having one of the best breaking balls in college baseball — a 12-to-6 hammer at 80-82 mph. But he impressed Buckley more with his 91-92 mph fastball Monday night against Cuba.

“I thought Cate’s fastball was electric tonight,” Buckley said. “I know he’s got a really good curveball, but I thought the ball really came out of his hand easy and light and kind of exploded … Man, (the curveball is) really, really good. To me, everything starts with the fastball, and your command of it or your control of it to get ahead.”<<
 
Haven't seen a roster for USA Team for this game to see if Cates will be on it:

Both Troy Stefanski and Joe Simeone are having excellent summers in the Futures League. I've already reported on how Someone has been doing in summer ball, this gives me an excuse to write something on Stefanski as well.

Simeone recently gave up his first run, which raised his ERA to 0.79 in 11.1 innings. He also has 23 strikeouts and 4 walks to his credit. With 6 saves, he has been a dominant pitcher in that league. Here's a link to the rest of his stat line:

Joe Simeone - Futures Collegiate Baseball League of New England - player

Troy Stefanski has been playing regularly and hitting .342 with 10 doubles, 1 triple, 2 homers, and 9 walks in 79 at bats. Here's a link to his stat line:

John Toppa only has 2 extra base hits (both doubles) among all his hits this summer, but that doesn't bother me when you're hitting well over .350 in the Cape League.


Matt Feld‏ @mattyfeld612
John Toppa (@johntoppa) now sits 2nd in the @Official_CCBL in hitting. After his 4-for-5 day, Toppa is now hitting .379 for @WarehamGatemen

UConn baseball summer update.

UConn Baseball in the Cape Cod League.

Good reviews of how various Huskies are doing in summer ball. However, this summer update is incorrect in reporting that Josh Loeffler is one of the Huskies that are not playing summer ball. From what I understand, Loeffler is not listed on UConn's summer roster, which is why he is not listed on UConn's summer assignment list. Loeffler may still try to walk on to the the team in the fall. As I've mentioned before, Loeffler is playing for the Newark Pilots of of the Perfect Game Collegiate League. As of July 11, in 37 official at bats, he is hitting .216, with a on base percentage of .362, and a slugging percentage of .405.
 

>> Joe Simeone (2020, rhp, UConn) shows a lot of personality and moving parts on the mound, but all of that still led to a lot of strikes in his Tuesday night outing. The 6-foot-3 incoming freshman showed a pretty advanced level of pitchability, attacking hitters with quality strikes at 89-92 mph. He was also able to throw his curveball and changeup for strikes in one very efficient inning of work.<<
 
.-.

>> Zac Susi (2018, c, UConn) continues to play high quality baseball. He’s posting pop times between 1.94-1.99 behind the plate, receiving extremely well and quietly having one of the best summers at the plate of any player in the league. Susi is currently hitting .308 and driving the ball to all fields with regularity. He has power and has been suppressed somewhat by the cavernous right field at Doran Park in Bourne. This is one of the most compact, pro ready lefty strokes going on the Cape right now. Keep a close eye on Susi moving forward, particularly given his advanced skills behind the dish.<<

These are great little summaries of the players abilities. I hope we see more of them as the summer progresses.

Congrats to Troy Stefanski, Ben Maycock, Joe Simeone and Jake Wallace for being named @FuturesLeague All-Stars! #HookC

UConn Baseball‏ @UConnBaseball
Ben Maycock will also participate in the @FuturesLeague Home Run Derby. The All-Star game will be on July 18 at Muzzy Field.

After being one of the last cuts from the UConn baseball roster this past winter, Ben Maycock has had a nice and consistent run this summer in Bristol. Since Maycock is getting acknowledged by the baseball program through twitter and on the summer assignment list, one would have to guess that Maycock is a walk on candidate that has a real shot at making the team next season.
