Men UConn Baseball 2023

I was with a father of an incoming UConn freshman baseball player this weekend. He mentioned that he was told that the team will play in Hawaii this spring instead of California. I was surprised and have not heard even a rumor about this. Just wanted to pass it along and wondering if anyone has any info.
Happy July 4th.

Go Huskies!!!!

Wasn't sure how public this was and didn't want to get anyone in trouble in case, but yeah I heard Hawaii from a very good source.

By chance do you have any idea on who the opponents are? Maybe some kind of tournament?

I didn't get details on who/when, just overheard a conversation. I was assuming just a series at UH Manoa as part of a larger west coast swing, but I suppose a tournament would make sense.

Not a tournament. 4 exemption games against Hawaii during the spring break swing. Allows for an up to 60 game schedule.

Thx. That makes sense. Actually Hawaii is not a bad team. Overall record last year, was 28-24. They finished 3rd in Big West conference with a 19-11 record. Their RPI was 114. Definitely a nice road trip for team
 
Rutgers played in Hawaii this year. It was just a 4 game series played over 3 days. Prior to the Rutgers games Hawaii played a similar 4 game series against Vanderbilt. Rutgers tacked on a 3 game series with Nebraska Omaha on the way back to NJ. Lots of flexibility to schedule games either before or after a trip to Hawaii in California or basically anywhere between Storrs and Hawaii.

This article doesn't offer anything really new, but it does provide a basic summary of probable returning players. Also, it doesn't really talk about the mass of UConn players in the transfer portal, other that Kevin Ferrer is hoping to be back with the team.

I believe the fall semester at UConn starts next week. Is this the UConn baseball version of Abbey Road?

Started off as a football request for a H & H and UConn Baseball took advantage of it.

UConn baseball publicizes these true walk on tryouts every year in September. Every once in a while someone emerges from these tryouts to actually make the team and make a little positive noise. From what I recall, Troy Stefanski and Jimmy Wang both fit into this catagory, and there very well could be others. Wang had a noteworthy freshman season with UConn getting plenty of weekend starts, and Stefanski emerged over his career at UConn as very solid starting outfielder.

A sign of the times in college baseball. UConn baseball has only one Senior listed on their roster, TC Simmons. On the other hand, UConn baseball has 10 Grad students listed on the roster.

Freeberger had an impressive career at UNC Asheville and should be a shoe in as a regular this year.

I find Dominic Freeberger to be the most intriguing of the position player transfers coming into the program, he also seems capable of playing all over the place in the field. It will be interesting to see how he fits in.
 



-> Connecticut

UConn’s sizable transfer class includes a couple of accomplished Division I players in two-way player Dominic Freeberger from UNC-Asheville, who has a .304 career average and runs his fastball into the mid 90s, and former Hartford closer Will Nowak, but mostly includes players from the region’s strong Division III baseball programs. That group includes lefthander Andrew Sears from Rhode Island College, righthander Stephen Quigley and outfielder Jake Studley from Wheaton (Mass.), infielder Luke Broadhurst from Eastern Connecticut State and infielder Paul Tammaro from Oswego State (N.Y.). <-


Also mentioned:

Georgetown - Georgetown made a massive leap on the field in 2022 and it will look to do so again in 2023 with the help of a big transfer class that will provide high-end talent and quality depth in equal measure. Outfielder Zaid Walker, a draftee out of high school, didn’t reach his full potential in four seasons at Michigan State, but he is bursting with raw talent. He’s a good runner with a strong arm made for right field, and his best season at the plate was in 2021, when he hit .308. On the mound, righthander Jake Bloss from Lafayette had a 3.57 ERA in 58 innings last season. His fastball is a low-90s pitch, but it touched 100 mph this summer. Third baseman Marco Castillo from Division III Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (Calif.) provides offensive potential after hitting .325/.421/.437 last season. <-
