Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 3084618, member: 364"] I think the important component of this thread is ... we are 1/3rd into this Baseball schedule. Justifiably, we should be hopeful of great results as the games matter more. Woody? This time last year - as I recall - he was marginally above the Mendoza line in his first exposure to this level of baseball. Therefore ... through the magic of transitive properties ... there are current hitters (and maybe some pitchers) that will take these weeks of growth and boom - go to a higher level. Candidates? The Frosh. Pat Winkel & Kyler Fedko obviously are skilled and getting their sea legs. Both may explode the rest of the arc of schedule. Chiovitti & Brodnansky obviously have some hitting skills. With this demanding collegiate program, both may show a far different career from these first 4 weeks. I think we have 6 solid hitters and need to make all the lineup - 1 thru 9 - potent; this year we have the depth to think that’s possible. Our baby catcher is clearly a defensive savant. Our pitching will improve with all three C. There’s so many good things to say about what we saw on or pitching staff last week; however, many need to step a few platforms higher for UConn to get to a remarkable year. Wang. Haus. Wurster. Johnson. Polonia. Then Simeone + Dunlop. That’s great for the 1/3rd mark. One guy needs to emerge to be a solid 5 inning Starting P. But we are well situated for the standard week of college baseball ⚾️ [/QUOTE]
