And of course, they’ve got the brand new facility.” <- ->Kron played AAU baseball in middle school, and travel ball with the CT Rivals in the summer of 2020. He went 4-for-7 with two home runs and five stolen bases at the Futures Games in 2020, an annual summer tournament with travel teams from around the country. Among his teammates were UConn commits Gavin Gregor (Avon Old Farms) and Frank Mozzicato (East Catholic). “They were recruiting me right from the start,” Kron said. “I became close with [UConn commit and St. Paul senior Ryan] Daniels over the years. We already have a bond. We haven’t even stepped foot on the campus but we already have a bond.” <- -> The Huskies have sent many a player to the professional ranks in the past decade. It’s become a pitching powerhouse, with Matt Barnes (Red Sox), Scott Oberg (Rockies) and Anthony Kay (Blue Jays) making it to the majors. But then there’s position players like Toronto’s George Springer, a New Britain native, and Massachusetts native Nick Ahmed, who plays for the Diamondbacks. “It’s something to think about in the future,” Kron said. “It’s exciting, because you know the coaches have experience with lots of different programs around the country. I know they do a good job of inviting scouts to games. I know there’s lots of ways to get seen by scouts at an organization like UConn.” <- [/QUOTE]
