They are more mature, more experienced and they've had more time to improve their skills. But that doesn't mean that freshmen can't come in right away and make an impact. The UConn baseball team had three players who did just that in its shortened season this year: first baseman Reggie Crawford and pitchers Andrew Marrero and Pat Gallagher. "It's like they can kind of skip a rung on the ladder," head coach Jim Penders said about his freshman standouts. "I think after the first few appearances, first few games that those guys were out there, they quickly became sophomores, and that's the best compliment a coach can give you."<< [/QUOTE]
