Men UConn Baseball 2024

Is this in lieu of the March open dates? Or is a series being put together in addition to these games?

Hard to schedule out of conference weekend series games in late March this late in the fall. Remember, UConn did have a home series scheduled for Easter weekend, but the school backed out before the contract was signed.

Hardly a surprise to see UMass on the UConn baseball schedule again, they seem to be on it pretty much every season despite the fact that UMass rarely has a solid team in terms of RPI ranking. I kind of expect UMass to be one of the worst non conference teams on the UConn baseball schedule this season.

And as mentioned above, UMass has not had a winning season since 2009. I kind of expect UMass to be one of the worst non conference teams on the UConn baseball schedule this season.

On the bright side, nothing this year will be equivalent to the RPI hit of the swan song of a game we played against Hartford at home last year (#300 out of 305 in RPI)

Challenging…? Yes. But take away name recognition and Uconn should be favored to win every series outside of the Auburn series mentioned in this tweet. UCLA would probably be considered the favorite as well in a single game. Everybody else incl. Louis/USF Ind St. should not. I’d say Uconn has done pretty well against both of those programs. This is the national perception, though. Challenging, as much to all those programs, even more so then Uconn.

A lot to like about the aggressive schedule. Brutal stretch w/ letdown alert and jet lag a given with such a quick turnaround coming back from Cal Baptist. URI on the road and then granted LIU, still gotta play em…followed by a tough 3 gms at Rutgers. Love the midweek KState and Cincy scheduling. At Auburn and UCLA is great

I like the midweek games as well. I noticed last year that other teams schedule tougher OOC midweek away games such as game against Cincy once school ends.

Does anybody know what the payout structure looks like for an NCAA Baseball Tournament Berth? I’ve found basketball’s general information available, however, I can’t find anything on baseball. The numbers are not comparable, I understand that, but I’m curious as to what type of revenue the other sports can generate from NCAA Tournament success. Qualifying, regionals, supers, etc. or however it’s structured.

There is no NCAA payouts from the College World Series.

Wow. I assumed wrong. I thought the payouts would pale in comparison to football/basketball but I didn’t think they went w/out compensation. Thanks for the reply.

Pete Hughes used to coach at BC... and I believe the senior he is referencing is his kid.

According to their biographies on the UConn Athletics baseball website, Grad transfers Cameron Mayer, Caleb Shpur, and Gabe Van Emon have two years of eligibility left to play college baseball including the 2024 season.

Big 12 Schedule Takeaways: 10 Things That Caught My Attention • D1Baseball

The entire Big 12 Conference released their schedules this week. What stood out as interesting? Here are 10 takeaways.

-> 1. Kansas State got the scheduling memo

When the Wildcats missed the NCAA tournament last year, committee chairman John Cohen repeatedly pointed to K-State’s non-conference schedule as the reason they didn’t make the tourney — somewhat ignoring the fact KSU clearly had a better resume than a team like Oklahoma. With that said, coach Pete Hughes is leaving nothing to chance in 2024 with road trips to Arizona State, Tennessee, Clemson, Wichita State, Missouri State, UConn, Northeastern and Nebraska. KSU might or might not make the NCAA Tourney in the spring, but if it doesn’t, it certainly won’t be because of scheduling. <-

George Welch, the LHP Grad Transfer from Southern New Hampshire, is no longer listed on the UConn baseball roster. He is the first player who was on the fall ball roster to be removed from the roster.

The UConn baseball roster currently has 44 players listed on it. The spring roster limit this coming seaon is 40 players. Usually UConn baseball will redshirt a few players and have them listed on the online roster (in the past I have referred to them as being a mini taxi squad), but they won't be on the actual spring playing roster.
