College sports have changed so much that I didn't even entertain the possibility that a UConn baseball player would transfer due to NIL. The everchanging world of sports.
I didn't think the team was that far off. Pitching seemed to be the main problem with injuries and guys like Cooke and Gabe not being the pitchers we thought they would be. No ace on the staff.
Except for the top of the order, everything seemed mediocre
Position bench players was basically limited to 1 utility player, 1 OF and a back up catcher.
Suchy seemed poised to join Pudvar as a dependable starter but then was injured. That really hurt. Tommy was too inconsistent.
Agree agree
That was the best hitting team we’ve had in years. Both those players were good enough to start every game this year (but we had 10 who were for 9 slots) and with improvement would presumably not be worse next year. Taking apart the lineup because the pitching was horrific doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Ellisen and dougherty the only surprises in my opinion.
one of the best offenses ever IMO. If their starting pitching wasn't so brutal to start the year this team could have made a run. Pudvar,West and Suchy next year is a nice starting rotation....Hopefully
Kids who redshirted going in the portal is interesting to me. I thought Groen got hurt early on but with the starting outfield gone or in the portal, there should be opportunity.
Depends on how you search… if you go to the alphabetical running list by school there are there - if you search by “previous school” - Connecticut > only four.
