Men UConn Baseball and the transfer portal

I think this is a bigger issue than just UConn but agreed on the point. In general there is a big emphasis in the sport on metrics like velo and spin rate but you are right on that it doesn’t always translate. Need to take a more nuanced approach to HS recruiting, which I think UConn is trying to do
Penders has discussed the fact that you need to look at metrics along with pitchers’ results and hitters’ batting average. Someone hitting 300 in HS will not magically become a great college hitter in spite of their exit velocity and launch angle. There are similar comparisons for pitchers.

The smartest thing I heard JP say was whether/if the guy’s been an ace, winning big games for his team. A guy who has a history of coming up big plays at any level. Pitching is a lonely business, and a guy who can/wants to carry the weight is someone you can work with. Talent plus grit is a winning combo.
 

UConn Redshirt freshman RHP Ryan VanDeWater, who did not play in any games this season (he may have been recovering from an injury from the previous season), is now listed in the D!Baseball.com transfer portal tracker.

Ryan VanDeWater has transfered to Marist.
 
Brett Davino, who did not get any playing time during his freshman season with UConn baseball, has transfered to Stony Brook.
 
Evan Menzel INF from Coventry played at Maine this past season entered the portal. Wonder if the staff goes after him.
 
UConn players new to the D1Baseball.com Transfer Tracker listing:

Hector Alejandro
Tom Ellisen

I thought Alejandro had used up his college eligibility, but guess that was not correct.

Aidan Daugherty as well. Prety sure Abbadessa and Macarthur are on their way too.

This transfer portal from the D1Baseball.com website is not the official transfer portal, but it does report players who show up in the official transfer portal. I would imagine if Dougherty is now in the official transfer portal, he will soon appear in this transfer portal listing. I would certainly miss Dougherty should he end up leaving UConn baseball.

Should mention that while most players who end up in the transfer portal end up leaving their previous team, but there are a few occasions where players do return to their previous team.

he himself posted it on twitter/X
 
Reminder - long time Board policy… Unless transfers are listed in the Portal, announced by the player, the school, or a reliable member of the media, it’s speculation.

Daugherty and Macarthur both had good years and were playing most of the time, and would presumably be playing every day next year. Why would they be looking?
I don't understand the MacArthur move either. Perhaps he wants to go back to California or he is concerned about less playing time once Maddix Dalena returns from wrist injury.
