Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 632961, member: 549"] 2014 recruit Nick Lamberti (East Haven High School), IF/OF commits to UConn. [url]http://nhrbaseball.blogspot.com/2013/07/good-eye-east-havens-nick-lamberti.html[/url] >>East Haven outfielder Nick Lamberti committed to the University of Connecticut. The outfielder had another strong season, posting a .589 batting average and .740 on-base percentage with 21 stolen bases and 20 runs. Lamberti, who will be a senior in the fall, said the scholarship offer is still being discussed and that he is going to use his senior year to decide what he will major in. He was also getting looks from St. John's, Hartford and Southern Connecticut State University, but osaid he is pleased with his choice and happy to get this weight off his shoulders before his senior year. "I'm really happy, now I can just go into every game and play like no one's watching me," he said. "I've already committed, I don't have to worry about anything." The outfielder said defending Big East champion UConn's future is bright and he wants to be a part of it. He joins a long list of the state's best high school players to stay home and play for UConn. All-State players like Amity pitcher Sam Nepiarsky, Foran catcher Joe Zanghi and Fitch shortstop Aaron Hill have all decided to play for the Huskies. "I think they've got a shot to go to the World Series in Omaha," Lamberti said. "They're in a new conference, new teams, a lot of travel. This is Division I baseball and its one of the best schools in the northwest (sic)." [/QUOTE]
