Men UConn summer baseball 2025

Norwich played a home day game against the New Britain Bees today, and Frank Spirito was the starting pitcher for Norwich. Norwich ended up losing 1-0, but Spirito pitched 5 scoreless innings before coming out of the game. It was the most innings in a game that Spirito has thrown for Norwich this summer. Spirito did well in this game, allowing 3 hits and 1 walk, and picking up 4 strikeouts.
 
The Norwich Sea Unicorns of the Futures League has added a transfer to UConn to its roster. OF Chase Taylor, a JUCO transfer from Los Mendanos College out in California..

The Norwich Sea Unicorns have another UConn recruit on its online roster. Incoming freshman Logan Charboneau from East Haven.

New Britain Bees also have a new incoming freshman UConn recruit on its online roster. Matthew McDowell from Brookfield.
 


Yeah, I have seen Jackson Marshall play in games at Norwich this summer several times. He looks big and good, that is for sure.

I also saw him win the Home Run Derby at the Futures League All Star Game last summer in Norwich.
 



As mentioned above, Rob Gilchrist just transferred from Pace University to UConn baseball. This summer he is playing with Nashua of the Futures League. Earlier this week he took part in the Futures League All Star Game.
 
Don't see this sort of thing too often. Last night Bryce Detwiler was both the starting pitcher and the D.H. for the Norwich Sea Unicorns of the Futures League. For Detwiler, this was his first time as a starting pitcher for Norwich this season, he pitched 2 scoreless innings before leaving the mound. He stayed in the game all the way as the D.H.
 
The Norwich Sea Unicorns of the Futures League now has Hector Alejandro listed on its online roster. Of course, Alejandro was with Norwich last summer as well. Alejandro's school is still listed as UConn at this point.

The Futures League regular season ends this weekend, and its post season playoffs start next week, I think on Monday.

Hector Alejandro is no longer on the Norwich Sea Unicorn roster. He only pitched in 2 games with Norwich this season.
 
UConn baseballs incoming freshman RHP Ryan Tatar is now on the roster of the New Britain Bees of the Futures League.
 
For our pitchers. It’s a lot of throwing. Minimizing shutdown and rest.
 
I’m not sure how wood bat leagues help college pitchers compete when they get back to school. UConn kids look like Skubal stats-wise, then can’t throw a strike when it counts.

Okay, that’s a bit harsh. I hope the trend shifts toward more command though.

some kids can't handle having every outing (even in the fall) mean something. Watched a lot of guys last year look in the dugout after a walk, hit batter or a rocket off the bat. Pitching scared makes it hard to succeed. Some guys have that compete gene and some don't.

I think this is the downside of travel ball. Too many meaningless games versus representing your high school or Legion ball representing your town or state. Having actual standings and winning titles versus rivals is real pressure. You find out what kids are all about winning, not only about their individual development. Like a pitcher knowing his spin rate and not knowing how many games he won last season.
