Message: [QUOTE="ToolzieFan, post: 3218462, member: 7018"] I'm not a UConn recruiting expert, but I'm familiar with Greger. I honestly don't know if they want him as a CF or a pitcher. They probably just wanted to secure him now, and they can figure out his position later. I'll tell you a little bit of what I know about him, but let me be clear: I'll talk about how he looked as a high school player, where the competition is obviously far from what UConn baseball faces. Greger plays CT Rivals in the summer. In high school, he played CF and pitched as a freshman. He hit .365 with plenty of extra base hits, walks, and steals. He led his team in OBA, SLG, XBH, BB, runs, RBI, and SB. He can really go get the ball in CF. At the very least, he could be a speedy OF who gets on base and makes things happen on the bases. If he grows a little, his swing should allow him to hit for power. As a pitcher, he probably can hit low-80s and sit high-70s with a big curve that is very tough to hit when it's on. He struck out well over a batter an inning as a freshman. He started and relieved. If his velocity gets to the mid-80s and he refines his command, he'll definitely have a future as a pitcher. He's also just a good kid who is competitive and absolutely loves the game of baseball. Those who know him all consider him to be a high-character student and player. I was surprised to see a commitment after freshman year (although I don't follow baseball recruiting like basketball recruiting to know how unusual it is), but I'm excited UConn grabbed a local talent.
