I did see Sully too on the Braves roster which is important because he needs to take a big step forward and this will help. Scanned Cape rosters quickly other teams saw no other Uconn players but it's a WIP. Also noticed Kash and Caglionne will be playing there as well this summer. NECBL saw some incoming freshman uconn arms on rosters. Have to see how it finalizes.
Men UConn Summer Baseball 2023
- Thread starter dbmill
- Start date
I used the Player Search function for the upcoming 2023 summer season for the three main college baseball summer leagues in New England. Here is a revised list of UConn players as well as some incoming recruits (transfers and incoming freshmen) currently slated to play summer ball in these leagues. This list is always subject to change, there are sure to be both additions and delations to this list. Indeed, there have been changes from when I first did this Player Search at the beginning of this thread. And just because players are on this list now, they don't always end up becoming part of these teams, but it is a starting point for the summer season.

David Smith, Ian Cooke, and Andrew Sears are no longer listed in the Cape Cod League Player Search function as committed to play summer ball in that league.
Wondering if the reason Ian Cooke is no longer listed is because of the injury that kept him out of the NCAA Tournament games that UConn was involved in.
As for David Smith, it is not uncommon for players who have a solid chance of being taken in the MLB draft that they don't play in summer ball prior to the draft. We'll see if he gets drafted in the coming draft.
It's also possible these guys could show up to play in another collegiate summer ball league.

Matt Garbowski is no longer with Chatham of the Cape Cod League. He played in one game with Chatham.

Why is Morton not showing up anywhere? Do we risk losing him to the draft as well?
Before the 2023 season started, I think a lot of people had Morton pegged as the most likely UConn player to picked in the upcoming draft due to his excellent 2022 season, and due to his combination of speed and power. Of course, as the 2023 season progressed, with Morton not matching up with his previous season, he spent a goodly amount of time in the bottom portion of the lineup. Still, often players are often taken in the MLB draft on the basis of their potential, so we will what happens with Morton.
Most UConn players show up in summer ball playing in the 3 main New England summer leagues. Because of this it is easy to scan the Futures League, the Cape Cod League, and the NECBL for UConn players as you will find a bunch of them in those leagues. Plus the player search functions are fairly easy to use in those leagues.
I believe there are over 80 collegiate summer leagues scattered all over the country, don't know the exact number, but there are a lot of them. UConn players do show up in some of these other leagues from time to time, but it requires quite a bit of searching since they don't show up in the same amounts as they do in the 3 main New England summer leagues. It is quite possible that Morton and other players may be in one of those other leagues, but good luck trying to find them, it isn't all that easy unless you want to search individual rosters in all those leagues.
I have noticed in the past that players who are eligible for the MLB draft and who have a good chance of being picked often don't show up in the summer leagues, at least right away. Sometimes they will appear in summer leagues after the MLB draft is over.
There are a bunch of UConn players who are slated to play for the 3 main summer baseball leagues in New England this year, most are in the NECBL.
That being said, there are a number of UConn players who are either playing for other summer leagues that have not been found out yet, or are simply taking the summer off from baseball. It will be interesting to see if they turn up on a summer ball roster at some point.

Interesting, this is a bit of a surprise to me. Luke Broadhurst is now listed as a summer ball Assistant Coach for Norwich of the Futures League. The Manager of Norwich is Kevin Murphy, who was a teammate of Broadhurst when they were both on the Eastern Connecticut State University baseball team.
