Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4079578, member: 2504"] While I expect that the UConn offense will be productive without Reggie Crawford, the bigger question might be who will now take over the Weekend Sunday starting pitcher role for UConn that Crawford was expected to fill next season. I'm not really sure who the coaching staff was looking at in terms of potential starters beyond Austin Peterson and Pat Gallagher, but I'll take a few guesses at potential candidates. A couple of grad transfers top off my thoughts for potential starting pitchers. Cole Chudoba was a starter at Assumption, and did very well in long relief on the Cape during the summer ball season. The big question would seem to be whether or not the coaching staff prefers him in a relief role at this point. Enzo Stefanoni, who transferred in from Harvard, seems to fit the Jeff Kersten type of pitcher, not having a big fastball but being a control type pitcher who is very efficient in hitting his spots and getting outs and not throwing many pitches to get those outs. A couple of UConn sophomores also did well in starting roles during summer ball, Sam Favieri and Brendan O'Donnell, who both played in the NECBL. O'Donnell did well enough playing with Vermont that he ended the summer season with a brief stint in the Cape League. It would seem that he impressed some people, as he is slated to return to the Cape League next summer. It makes you wonder if O'Donnell is the guy to watch if you are looking for a young pitcher on the UConn pitching staff to emerge in a much bigger role this coming season. [/QUOTE]
