Men UConn Baseball 2025

I’m also very excited for Aidan!! Anyone have what it says about him? Just curious.

D1baseball.com only shows Aidan at 32 on the list of JUCO hitters transferring into D1 college baseball.

Ok thank you. I just thought they would have a little summary about the players.

This was from the fall report.

Drew Kron and Aidan Dougherty. Kron is a “fantastically talented” defensive outfielder whose offense is still developing, as Penders put it. Dougherty is a bounceback from Oregon State by way of Linn-Benton (Ore.) CC, and he stands out for his smooth, flat swing and ability to drive the ball to the opposite field. He’s been hampered a bit by a hip issue this fall, but he had a great summer in the West Coast League, and Penders said his polished bat could give him a chance to make an instant impact similar to what Dominic Freeberger delivered as a grad transfer in 2023.

UConn’s Tyler Minick (Aaron Fitt)
Dougherty is also a capable defensive infielder who can play all over the dirt other than shortstop, so he could fit in at a corner spot if needed.

So with a bit over a month before the season starts, UConn baseball already has 2 players (both RHP) who are injured and out for the season.
another one just got added Paxton Meyers out for the season.

Sorry for the long message in advance lol.

Ok, seeing we’re a month away from first pitch I thought I’d give my prediction/ thoughts on what I wanted the lineup to look like on opening day and throughout the season, so here it is. I’ve been pretty bullish on Carter Groen and Aidan Dougherty this winter and that’s why I have them starting. Also outside of Cooke and Gabe presumably starting Fri and Sat, then Brady getting the 9th, I have no clue what’s going on with pitching. But seeing how good Hector and Gio did this summer in Norwich I think Hector can work his way into a mid-week or even Sunday role and Gio could be a solid pen arm but who knows haha. I would definitely like to hear from you guys in here and gauge where everyone is at. I know a couple of you have seen these guys whether, it’s been at summer ball or during the fall. so I would just like to know what you guys think/ saw and any changes you would make. I’m open to all the info about the players I can get!! I’m just trying to get into the baseball thought because I’m excited once again for what’s going to be another great HookC Season!! OMAHA SOON!!!

Edit: Completely forgot Garbinski was out this year

SHPUR CF
BILLER RF
MINNICK 3B
DALENA 1B
MACARTHUR Dan Hurley
GARBO C
PADILLA SS
DANIELS 2B
DOUGHERTY/GROEN RF

I agree with the weekend starters. Kyle Peters and Suchy are guys that could end up as a weekday starters along with Schild.whoever is not starting of those 3 will be long guys out of the pen. I like Abbadessa ,Hamberger and Finn to bridge to Brady. Wolff and Galusha are power arms that if they can throw strikes could make this bullpen have incredible depth.

My guess is that Dalena will be at 1B, Daniels at 2B, Padilla at SS, and Minick at 3B to start the season. I expect Shpur will be in CF, not sure about the rest of the outfield. Garbowski at catcher. Expect Cooke, Van Emon, and Ellison to get the first shot at the weekend starting rotation, with Afthim the closer in the bullpen.
 
Many new names in the lineup to me and I do follow the team fairly closely during the season.

Who do you think will have the most impact of players Dougherty, Groen and Biller?

I like Biller. reminds me of Zach Bushling the way he plays.
 
The online UConn baseball roster now has 45 players listed on it. Drew Kron is no longer listed on the roster.
