UConn Baseball Recruiting and Commitment Thread

What does the article say?

A brief overview would be great. DO they think there is any chance that he DOESN'T go MLB?

Keith Law left the door open, said Petty's profile of a hard throwing prep arm is the type that needs to take the money but a guy like Mozzicato has a better argument of improving his stock over the next 3 years

-> Both of these teenagers will probably go in the top 50 picks, depending on signability. Petty is committed to Florida, but pitchers with his kind of arm strength should always sign out of high school — he’s more comparable to Karsten Whitson than A.J. Puk at the same age. Mozzicato is committed to Connecticut, which doesn’t have Florida’s history of churning out prospects, but he has a better argument that he’ll improve in the next three years, even if only from physical maturation, than Petty does. I could see Petty sneaking into the back of the first round, and he seems very likely to be some team’s second pick on an over-slot deal if not, whereas Mozzicato could go in the 30-50 range. <-
 
The UConn Baseball future appears bright... take a minute to read his one.

-> Outline truncated the ending:

“Fifteen long balls and counting, Daniels has surprised even himself. Doing it at home is even sweeter. “I can’t say I expected this,” Daniels said. “It’s a great feeling. It spreads for sure — my teammates have been hitting insanely well, too. My whole team has been hitting the heck out of the ball.”
 
Not sure if this was posted elsewhere, but Cole Chudoba (6’2, 202/RPH/Oxford, CT/Assumption University) will be playing for UConn as a grad transfer next year. Chudoba’s stock began to rise playing with the Worcester Bravehearts the past two summers. His fastball sits 93-95. The Assumption grad will spend the summer in the Cape with the Bourne Braves.

The UConn - Bourne Braves connection is active once again.

The coaching staff in their recruiting as certainly started working the Grad Transfer market the last couple of years.

Makes sense to save him for some real competition (although Class S is usually a joke outside of maybe five teams a year).

Also, has CIAC switched over to pitch count limits vs. innings? It's been a while since I've been plugged in, I'm assuming pretty much all of amateur baseball has by now though.

I’m pretty sure it is pitch count. Also, East Catholic is class M which isn’t the biggest difference in the world but I would imagine East is saving him for the quarterfinals

Gotcha. Yeah, Class M can be pretty competitive once the vocational schools get knocked out.

Yea it seems tough to hold him until the quarters but that would line him up for the finals which is kind of story book. The risk is the potential matchup with Waterford in the semis. So you either use him today and then in the semis. or on Saturday in the Quarters and then in the finals (potentially). My guess is he pitches Saturday.

First round Tues 6/1
Second Wed 6/2 - #16 Morgan 11-8

Quarters Sat 6/5 - #8 New Fairfield 14-4 or #9 Weston 14-4

Semis - Tues 6/8 #4 Waterford 16-1 (probably) or #20 Rocky Hill 11-10 #28 Tolland 9-12 or #21 Sheehan 10-9)
Finals - Fri 6/11 or Sat 6/12

Mozzicato came in today to get the last three outs versus Morgan.

Makes sense. He was probably due for a bullpen day in between starts so might as well get 3 strike outs out of him. Would guess there is going to be quite a large crowd there on Saturday.

Haven’t scrubbed it yet but I see Ryan Daniels, Drew Kron, Koby Pascarelli and Mozzicato so far.

Matt Garbowski under Class M.
Braden Quinn under Class M.

By the way, Hank Penders, son of Coach Penders also made it.

Also on the list is Connor Podeszwa, who is the son of UConn baseball's Assistant Volunteer Coach Chris Podeszwa.

Just looked at BB Ref and he’s killed it so far in High A this year… 2 starts, 8 innings, 15 strikeouts, only 1 walk and 1 hit apiece.

Another update on him

Michael Burrows, RHP PIT (High-A) 4.2 IP, 1 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 6 K

Former 11th round selection out of the Connecticut High School ranks, has been pitching well to start the season, with 31 punchouts in just 20.2 innings thus far. The Pirates had a complete front office makeover since the last MiLB season and it seems like their pitching prospects are some of the main benefactors of the new regime.

Mentioned in another recent article as well.

“Lastly, on the prep pitching front, I tweeted just after the mock draft about the rise of Connecticut prep lefty Frank Mozzicato (UConn commit), who would probably go in the second round if the draft were today -- powered by four straight no-hitters and a knockout curveball.”

@dbmill - you pulling a incoming class list together (as we know it)? I know you had one a while back so I don’t want to duplicate efforts.

If you don’t have time - LMK and I’ll pull something together over next few days.
