Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3747199, member: 2504"] Good informative interview, but that is often the case when Coach Penders gets talking. A little addition to the good info in the summary above, Caleb Wurster wants to be prepared as a starter. As mentioned above, Reggie Crawford struggled at the plate in fall ball in trying to develop his power potential. He also had similar struggles at the plate during summer ball. Big praise for the Fedko brothers, but that is nothing new. Coach Penders mentions UConn baseball has three excellent defensive center fielders, those being Chris Winkel, Kyler Fedko, and California JUCO Terrence Simmons. That is pretty much the first mention I've heard of Simmons and what he brings to the team in terms of his talent. As for the Big East, there are certainly competitive teams as mentioned above. I will miss the American for baseball as well, but I suspect Coach Penders knows UConn will benefit from the cutback in the horribly long road trips that were a big part UConn baseball during conference play, and I would agree with that.
