Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4532959, member: 2504"] Prior to the start of last season, to me, the depth of the UConn pitching staff was a big question mark on the team, especially in terms of who was going be the main cogs in the bullpen aside from Justin Willis. The one advantage was that UConn had both Peterson and Gallagher returning to the team as weekend starting pitchers. Still, I think it would be safe to say that they both probably turned out to be better than any of us fans were expecting. While there was some doubt about the pitching depth prior to the start of the season, overall, things turned out quite well in that department. Coming into this season, it appears that UConn's pitching depth looks pretty good. As mentioned before, we are all waiting to see how the starting pitching shapes up. On that front we have gotten some encouraging news during fall ball and the preseason. Ian Cooke came in at No. 75 of top college pitchers on a list that was just put out by D1Baseball.com. The UConn coaching staff also seemed quite pleased with how transfer Andrew Sears performed during fall ball season. Sears made a good impression on others, as he is currently pegged to play in the Cape Cod League this coming summer, I would definitely consider that to be a good sign. D1Baseball.com has also said that Stephen Quigley had a strong fall as well. Still, we do have to see how these guys work out when the regular season starts next weekend. [/QUOTE]
