Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4877682, member: 2504"] This preview article on the UConn infield mentions Luke Broadhurst as a candidate to possibly get playing time at D.H. and possibly 1B. I would think Maddix Dalena will get a chance at both these spots as well, as he is a possible offensive threat with power in his bat. One thing that this article doesn't mention is the possibility of Broadhurst getting playing time at 3B. In each of that last 2 fall seasons with UConn, Broadhurst has gotten a far amount of playing time at 3B in scrimmages and exhibition games, so I would not totally shut the door on the possibility of Broadhurst getting some playing time at 3B, assuming that the coaching staff is okay with his fielding ability at 3B. From what we have been hearing since last summer since Grad transfer catcher Matt Malcom transferred to UConn, it sounds like it is possible that Malcom could see some playing time at the D.H. spot. If Malcom and Dalena show positive offensive production this spring, I would think it would increase the chance of Broadhurst getting some playing time at 3B. It would certainly be good for the future of UConn baseball if a few of the incoming freshmen on this team get some playing time and show some ability to produce both on offense and defense. I would seem from what we have heard and from this article that the freshman infielder who most likely might fit this bill would be Tyler Minick. He is another player who could see some time at 3B. We'll have to see what pops up in the preseason interviews that Chris Jones does every year with the coaching staff concerning the players on the team. [/QUOTE]
