In fact, UConn coach Jim Penders expects the 6-foot-4, 235-pound left-hander, who was recently ranked the No. 13 college prospect for the 2022 MLB Draft by Baseball America, to still be selected early in next summer’s draft. “If he’s not a shoo-in for the beginning of the first round,” Penders said, “I don’t know anything about baseball.” <- -> “He’s got very low mileage, very few clicks on that odometer of his, in regard to pitching,” said Penders, who will enter his 19th season as UConn’s head coach next spring. “I think that should be attractive to organizations. In my opinion, he’s made his bones. I know a lot of scouts have shared that with me. He’s done enough. Maybe, if anything, some other (teams) think they have a shot at him now.” <- -> Consistent with his upbeat personality, Crawford is handling things well, according to Penders. “Even this can’t wipe the smile from his face. The kid’s got a megawatt smile and great presence to him. I’m sure that he spent some nights not all that happy, but he’s never shown that to his teammates, coaches, peers or friends. He’s always positive energy. That’s just who he is.” <- -> “The hardest part is, he’s got to make this decision himself, what’s best for him,” said Penders. “We can certainly guide and use our resources available to us to help him make that decision, but ultimately it’s up to him. We’re going to support whatever he decides. “I’ll bet the house on Reggie Crawford,” Penders added, “every day of the week, and twice on Sunday.” <- [/QUOTE]
