Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 2365202, member: 2504"] Interesting bit from the article on CJ Dandeneau: <Since returning to the Storrs campus, Dandeneau has made the most of his fresh start. He’s been touching the low 90s with his fastball and shown much better command than what Penders saw in the spring when he issued 11 walks. His changeup has been solid and he’s gravitating more towards throwing the slider as his breaking pitch. The goal for this fall is to build up Dandaneau’s stamina in anticipation of pitching multiple innings out of the bullpen in 2018.> Sounds good to me, hope Dandeneau can continue this into the spring. Like many college pitchers, when Dandeneau has his control and has command of his pitches, he can be an out machine. Of course, control and command is a frequent issue for many college pitchers, and Dandeneau is no exception to this. There was a period during Dandeneau redshirt freshman year where he was lights out when he came into game. Of course, there have been extended periods during his UConn career where he has becomes a walk machine to opposing batters, and that period seemed to take up a good chunk of last season with the Huskies. It really limited the amount pitching time that Penders gave him this past season when he only pitched about 15 innings during the season. [/QUOTE]
