2025 UConn Baseball Stats YTD:
Shpur and Lane have really come on the last few weeks. Garbo's injury has affected him to the point where the future is now with Lane. Looks like Tirado is being redshirted.
The issue now is that even to win the BET, we almost certainly need to win it in 3 games. If it takes 5, no way we have the pitching to do that.Shpur and Lane have really come on the last few weeks.

Padilla has more errors this year than I can remember the last few years combined. Pitching wise, we don't have the depth for a regional at this point. Hopefully enough for the Big East tournament. Let's hope someone amongst Abedessa, Hutchinson, Van Emon and one more can get it together toward the business end of the Big East season the way Finn has turned it around. If we can get one or more of those guys rolling, I like our chances down the stretch and the BET.
Good read by Dom:
-> McCarver, who died two years ago, didn’t last 22 years as a major league catcher, or become the preferred backstop for Bob Gibson and Steve Carlton, by worrying about bumps, bruises or bad breaks. He then warmed our living rooms with all his stories and ideals over decades as a broadcaster, a baseball lifer unforgettable for his grit and joie de vivre.
And it lives on this spring as his grandson completes his college baseball career at UConn, and Tim McCarver would’ve certainly drawled a few memorable lines after watching Beau race around the bases for an inside-the-park home run Tuesday night at Dunkin’ Park, an igniting moment in the Huskies’ 12-2 victory over UMass.<-
-> On a night former coach Andy Baylock was honored with the UConn Club’s rarely-presented Crystal Award for his 60-plus years of contribution to the university’s athletic programs, the Huskies won their ninth in a row. After a brutal start to the season on the long February and March road trips against top-level competition, and despite a slew of injuries, the Huskies have put their season back together up north and played their way back into Big East and NCAA Tournament contention. <-
He needs to work on his fielding otherwise his draft stock will take a big hit.Minick looks to be on pace to become one of our highest drafted players ever next year if he continues this trajectory
I don’t think it will sink him. He has the tools to project into a good defensive player and a bat that can carry him regardless. It would certainly help his stock to show some better defensive execution but he’s looking like a high draft pick either wayHe needs to work on his fielding otherwise his draft stock will take a big hit.

Agree. Especially for a non-pitcher. I envision him in the outfield as a pro. He runs well and has a good arm. The power is legit. Other than Huber at USC a few years back I've never seen a ball hit as hard in person as Tyler hits them.Minick looks to be on pace to become one of our highest drafted players ever next year if he continues this trajectory
44 runs on 59 hits this weekend. Team batting average is over .300 now. Which hitter do you give the Big East player of the week too???
