New Haven Register (Borges); Minor Leagues: Former UConn lefties top Register’s annual Top 20 prospects list

UConn mentions (and Burrows just because):

1. Anthony Kay, UConn, LHP (Mets, Class A-Advanced): 2016 first-round draft pick missed all of last season after Tommy John surgery, but rebounded to go 7-10, 4.34 ERA between Columbia and St. Lucie this year. Rated as the Mets’ No. 7 overall prospect, per mlb.com.

2. Tim Cate, Manchester/UConn, LHP (Nationals, Class A): Second-round pick in June pitched well in New York Penn League and got promotion to Hagerstown. Has gone 2-6, 5.28 ERA overall. Considered the Nats’ No. 10 overall prospect by mlb.com.

4. Michael Burrows, Waterford, RHP (Pirates, Rookie): Surprised everyone by eschewing UConn for pros and has tossed 14 innings of shutout ball in his first four outings (three starts).

6. Wills Montgomerie, Lakeville/UConn, RHP (Dodgers, Class A-Advanced): Last year’s sixth-round pick earned late-season promotion to High-A and has gone 2-3, 3.26 ERA overall.

7. P.J. Poulin, UConn, RHP (Rockies, Class A short-season): An 11th-round draft pick in June, has notched seven saves and posted 2.08 ERA at Boise.

8. Patrick Ruotolo, UConn, RHP (Giants, Double-A): Notched 10 saves and posted a 2.03 ERA in Richmond before hitting the disabled list a month ago.

17. John Russell, UConn, RHP (Giants, Class A-Advanced): Posted 2.54 ERA, seven saves out of Class-A Augusta’s bullpen while striking out 70 batters in 601/3 frames. Earned promotion to San Jose on Wednesday.

18. Zac Susi, Southington/UConn, C (Pirates, Rookie): A 12th-round pick in June, has hit .234 between a pair of stops this summer.

Barnes vs Springer ALCS matchups sure to get tons of UConn mentions. Love George anytime he’s not playing the Sox.
