Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4747005, member: 2504"] Up until the Covid pandemic started in 2020, the regular spring season roster size was 35 players in D1 baseball. That roster size has varied since the start of the pandemic. For instance, it was 37 players last season. I read somewhere on the internet that the roster size for D1 Baseball this coming spring season is 40 players. The expansion of the spring roster is at least partly due to some players getting an extra year of eligibility due the affects of Covid on the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Anyway, I counted 18 position players on the UConn baseball 2023 fall ball roster. If the 40 man roster is correct for this season, I am kind of expecting all 18 position players to be on the roster. That would mean 22 pitchers would be on the roster as well. When spiring rosters limited to 35 players, usually there would be somewhere around 18 pitchers on the spring roster. I have noticed in the past that UConn baseball fall ball rosters usually have about 45 players on the roster. It really hovers around this number every fall. This fall ball season there are certainly more pitchers on the UConn fall ball roster than there normally would be. Guessing that is because of the generally inconsistency of the pitching staff last spring season. Guessing because of this the UConn coaching staff wanted to look at a few more arms this fall ball season. [/QUOTE]
