Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3429157, member: 2504"] Kevin Ferrer had a great season at the bat in summer ball last year. Based on that I was wondering if he would be in the running for a starting spot in either the outfield or at D.H. for UConn. Anyway, here are some snippets from the above New London Day article: >“He can really hit,” coach Jim Penders said. “I think he’s going to find a way. If he’s not starting opening day, he’s probably going to get some starts at Dan Hurley. You may see him in left field. He’s improved his defense, but he’s still got a ways to go. I wouldn’t consider him an every day outfielder just yet. But he’s developing.”< >Ferrer sat out his first season in Storrs as a red-shirt. He put his time to good use, working on his conditioning, adding muscle and polishing his baseball skills. Penders took notice. “He’s put his nose to the grindstone,” Penders said. “Last year he used that time that he wasn’t on our roster and red-shirted to really improve on his own. He took pride in getting his work in and never missing a lift and got his body in better shape, too.”< >Penders got another good look at Ferrer’s offensive skills during Thursday’s scrimmage. “He has a knack for finding holes,” Penders said. “Even today he found a hole in the infield. He has a knack for putting the barrel on the ball and hitting them where they ain’t. He does that very well. Never looks like he’s overmatched in the batter’s box.”< [/QUOTE]
