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.

Hate to lose homegrown talent but he had his chances to breakthrough…

They took the wrong CT outfielder in that recruiting class

Hardly a big surprise to me considering Turner is from Rhode Island.
