Redshirt freshman infielder Jack Petersen is no longer listed on the online UConn baseball roster located on the UConn athletics website. UConn baseball now has 42 players listed on the roster, including Chris Brown, who recently appeared on the D1Baseball.com Transfer Tracker for 2023.

Andrew Sears, a Junior LLP who transferred from Division 3 Rhode Island College to UConn. It has also been reported that Sears will play for the Harwich Mariners in the Cape Cod League this coming summer, so he has taken a step up in the summer collegiate baseball leagues as well. Sears made a good impression on the UConn coaching staff during the fall as well, and it looks like at this point that he is likely to be a part of the UConn weekend starting pitching rotation at the beginning of the season.

Wow, a nice honor that I wasn't expecting, but it is still a great thing to have happen. Congrats to Dave Smith and the Huskies for this preseason recognition.
Congrads DM! Well deserved and a Captain !

Ben Huber and Korey Morton Pre-Season All Big East Team. Ian Cooke Pre-Season Pitcher of the Year.


So David Smith is a preseason All American but not on any Big East pre season team?

A nice pre Christmas present, so to speak, releasing this stuff.

No surprise that Huber and Morton made the Big East Pre-Season Team. Cooke showed plenty of potential last season as well, so no big surprise that he gets mentioned as well.

As for David Smith, it does seem odd that he got named as a second team All American, but not to the Big East Pre-Season Team. I'm thinking that a lot of the Big East Pre-Season Team was probably based on performance during the last spring season. As for the All American ranking, it has been mentioned that David Smith did very well during the fall ball season, and the All American ranking might be partly taking in how players did in the fall, while the Big East is not. That is the only real explanation I can think of.

Meggs and Smith were both 2nd team All Big East last year. Meggs had a little higher batting average. Assuming it's just the 8 head coaches that vote for these Big East nominations. Wonder what the tally was?
