I listened to the Coach Penders part of the interview session. At one point he was asked about the D.H. spot. Penders said it would likely to be a revolving door. Pat Winkel likely to see time there when he is not catching, which will be more than a few games considering the four game weekends including double headers that the Big East has scheduled. Also likely to see time at D.H. would also include Ciaran Devenney, Ben Maycock, and Kevin Ferrer among others, including two way players Reggie Crawford and Erik Stock.

Penders injury report from this interview. A few relief pitchers are not available this weekend due to minor injuries. Andrew Marrero, who Penders described as one of the backend bullpen guys, is out for the weekend, should be back next weekend. Justin Willis is also out for the weekend. Devin Kirby has a forearm issue, should be back in a month or so.

The UConn Sunday starter as mentioned elsewhere is undecided at this point. Jimmy Wang, Pat Gallagher, and Austin Peterson all got mentions as possibilities for Sunday. Some of it depends on whether one of these guys gets used earlier in the weekend.

That is some story, it's a must read. I had remarked that there had been nothing on Polonia in fall ball tweets and interviews. No wonder. A recent interview with the one of the coaches basically stated that during the fall ball season they were more worried about Polonia being able to recover, they weren't even thinking in terms of him pitching at that point.
 
During the game broadcast today, Chris Jones said that Ryan Hyde is out for the season with a hip injury.

Not Kyle (you probably need to hit him up on twitter) but I believe those are available in the Bookstore only... There are some Hook C variations here: UConn ZHS (be sure to scroll to related items for more choices)

153. Ben Casparius

91-95 with two breaking balls and a changeup that's flashed plus. Draws rave reviews on competitive fire and work ethic. Physically imposing presence and build.

319. Pat Winkel

A swing change darling has led to more power since arriving to campus in 2019. Projects an average power hitter at the next level right now, no doubt an asset for a catcher. Didn't play at all in 2020 with arm injuries. He was an advanced defensive guy in high school, so it'll be important the arm is full recovered to stay behind the plate and buoy his stock.

Freshman David Christoforo is no longer listed on the UConn baseball roster. The other backup catcher Ryan Hyde is out for the season with a hip injury. Assuming that the omission of Christoforo from the roster is not a mistake, I would guess this once again makes David Langer the emergency catcher if he is ever needed.

This could turn into an issue. A 56 game season is a long run to have no insurance policy of having a third catcher.
