Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4535916, member: 2504"] Final cuts to the roster still have to take place as well. Hector Alejandro is out for the year with an injury. Four other players will need to be cut from the spring roster and presumably redshirted to bring the roster to 37. Guessing they will most likely be incoming freshmen, but we shall see in a few days. As pointed out above, Curren Larson did not play at all last season with UConn. He played summer ball with Norwich of the Futures League, and I saw him pitch several times. Larson had big problems with his control in Norwich, in some ways he reminded me of Jimmy Wang who played with Norwich the summer season before, who also showed a lack of control when he pitched. Larson did not make a good impression on me with his pitching while he was in Norwich. Not surprised at all that Chris Brown is not on the travel roster to start the season, UConn simply has a number of guys who can play 3B who certainly seemed to be ahead of him during the fall ball season, which very well could be the reason Brown entered the transfer portal again. After his solid 2021 spring season with UConn, Brown had a tough time in summer ball that summer, and it doesn't seem that he has played well since. Brown is supposed to play summer ball with Bridgeport of the Connecticut Collegiate Baseball League, which may even be a step below the Futures League in terms of quality. [/QUOTE]
