Walk-ons and local guys are the easiest to root for. Even better when a guys ends up being both. Here's hoping that he can have a nice career here by the time he graduates.
In the post game interview Penders was saying positive things about Stefanski, one of the walk ons, saying that he likes his bat, and that he might have a nice baseball future at UConn. He was implying that potentially you might be seeing more of him off the bench. I'm not sure this will ever happen, but the comments I've seen Penders make about Stefanski sort of remind me of the things that Penders used to say about Sundberg before he became a starter.
