Edward Little’s Drew Smith commits to play baseball at UConn
The hard-working pitcher still has two years of high school and travel baseball before becoming a Division I player at the University of Connecticut, or, possibly, an MLB draft pick.

The last part is “This spring, the South Windsor, Conn., native was 0-2 with a 4.11 ERA and four saves.”
Will Nowak is a new UConn commitment to this thread.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this guy ends up being a first or second rounder
Anthony Belisario had previously committed to Coastal Carolina, but has now changed his mind. Another UConn recruit from Staten Island. Good to get the New York City kids.
In the Class of 2023, Anthony Belisario is ranked 308 by Perfectgame.org

Edit: Sorry - subscriber only currently (... and I'm not).
UConn recruit RHP Drew Smith is now ranked at No. 250 in the Class of 2024 by PerfectGame.org.
The UConn baseball fall ball roster is now up on the UConn athletics website. There is one player on that roster who I don't believe was previously reported here. That would be LHP Andrew Sears, who played with Division 3 Rhode Island College. Sears was a starting pitcher for Rhode Island College. Sears is listed as a Junior for his first season with UConn:

Apart from two weird starts, he absolutely dominated college competition…great k to bb ratio. Possible Sunday starter.
One of Andrew Sears starts this past season was a 9 inning complete game victory over eventual national champion Eastern Connecticut State where he gave up 1 run. That really grabbed my attention. Certainly would not surprise me if one or two of the transfers end up in the weekend starting rotation. The fall ball competition for the weekend starting rotation is going to be interesting, there are certainly a number of candidates for those spots.
Class of 2026 Chase McCrary of Gordon, Alabama has committed to UConn baseball. Listed as a SS by PerfectGame.com. Commitment is confirmed on his twitter page. Don't see too many high school players from the deep south committing to UConn baseball. First commitment for the Class of 2026 for UConn.

The tweet announcing Chase McCrary as having committed to UConn baseball has vanished, as has PerfectGame.com listing him as a UConn recruit. So at this point, I'm assuming that he is no longer committed to UConn baseball.

<2021 ATLANTIC COAST PROSPECT SHOWCASE
Cayden Suchy is a 2024 LHP/OF with a 5-11 170 lb. frame from Sterling, VA who attends Dominion. Recorded a 7.67 second sixty-yard dash. Primary left-handed pitcher moves from the stretch only with a low handset, a belt high leg lift, and is well-balanced over the backside as he rides it down the mound with good extension and release on his fastball that has late cutting action topping 81 mph. Suchy has good command of the zone and goes right after the hitters while mixing in a tight breaking ball with good spin and depth out of the same three-quarter arm slot. Also showcasing in the outfield using smooth, clean actions and an aggressive approach on the ball with a good line and drive to the bases while accurately throwing 81 mph. Left-handed hitter steps to the plate with high hands, a high back elbow, and swings with an uphill plane as he wraps the bat around his head throwing the hands at the ball alongside a pull approach. Excellent student.>
