The new names from the UConn baseball listing of summer ball player assignments that we have not seen before:

Enzo Stefanoni is playing with Vermont of the NECBL. Stefanoni is a RHP, he is a grad transfer from Harvard. UConn is definitely making use of the Grad transfer market.

Curren Larson is a RHP, and he is listed on the Waterloo Bucks of the Northwoods League as being a California JUCO from Saddleback College. He is listed as being a redshirt sophomore on the Waterloo roster. So he is the latest UConn Cali JUCO.

I've been wondering for a while what is going on with Joe Wozny. I finally found something on him:

Talking about The Stony Brook School baseball program here:

They also have UCONN-commit Joe Wozny, who is rehabbing from shoulder surgery last year.<

That’s insane.

That’s insane.

It’s the most misunderstood “award” out there… in some sports you just go “who?”.

 

[Tmill15]

“That honor was awarded to Connor Podeszwa of Waterford High this morning, Gatorade officials announced.”
Much congrats is in order for the son of the UConn assistant but Gatorade got this wrong in my opinion.

FWIW…

Congrats to Connor, he checked all the boxes.

More on Mavrick Rizy. He's a big boy, that's for sure.

Mavrick Rizy

www.prepbaseballreport.com

Rizy is a talented, projectable 6-foot-7, 195 pound right-handed pitching prospect. The delivery has gone through a little bit of an alteration. Rizy looks like he has worked to get his release point well out in front, causing his fastball to work downhill and free up his arm. The result is a fastball that sits 84-86 MPH with heavy downward sink. Rizy also mixed in a new, harder breaking ball at 70 MPH that impressed. The spin was tight. The break was late and changed planes from his fastball. Rizy also showed a good change-up at 79-80 MPH with similar action to his fastball.

Rizy has been a guy that has shown potential. That potential may be starting to kickstart. The mechanical change he’s made has allowed his arm talent to come to the forefront. His velocity has already jumped five MPH since the change.<

6 foot 7?!!! As a sophomore in high school, goodness gracious! Sitting in the mid to high 80s as a sophomore is mighty impressive too. So far, the 2024 class with Tirado is looking great! Mavrik is a great name too

Looks like a good pickup. I like the early commitment as a sophomore as well. Let's hope that he is good but not too good until he gets to UConn.

Oh wow, I remember this kid from the Maine-Endwell little league World Series championship team in 2016(?). Believe he drove in the game winning run for them against South Korea.

Someone has a great memory.
