It is almost time for the season to kickoff. UConn Baseball dinner was last night at the Aqua Turf. Unfortunately, a much smaller turnout than last year. However, the excitement in the room was genuine and there are initiatives in place to increase the amount of scholarships UConn baseball can award. Joe D'Ambrosio did a great job as emcee as there was a panel answering questions from Joe. Pete Fatse, Matt Barnes, Anthony Kay and Ben Casparius all came out for the panel. For Ben, Anthony and Pete, spring training starts in the next day or so.
Not a ton of talk about the individual players. More about how coach and the staff have modernized some of the things they do from base running, teaching the catching position and throwing programs prescribed from a few of the major league teams. No more signs coming from coach Penders in the 3rd base box. There is a communicator on the wrist that he will send signals to. He said last year there were too many missed signs on the bases and this should help that problem as long as he doesn't screw up using the technology!!
