Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4528794, member: 2504"] Well aware that UConn baseball usually travels with about 27 players on road trips during the season, Chris Jones has often talked about this during game broadcasts in past years. However, the 27 players are not the same on every trip, they can be replaced from time to time with other players that are on the playing roster, whether it is due to injury or player performance in either games or in practice back in Storrs. Prior to the pandemic, the Division 1 college baseball NCAA mandated limit on rosters was 35 players, and last year it was 40 players due to players being granted extra eligibility due to the pandemic. I could be wrong, but I believe the roster limit for this season is once again 40. I believe players who get scholarship money have to be on the 40 man roster, whether or not they are injured and out for the season. If Hector Alejandro ends up on the 40 man roster, it would be an indication that he is getting scholarship money. UConn typically has a couple players that they redshirt who are considered part of the team, but they are not on the official roster during the playing season. Unless Alejandro is getting scholarship money, I would expect that he would be one of the players on this mini "taxi squad", as I have referred to it in the past. [/QUOTE]
