A Jimmy Wang sighting, excellent!! I'm inclined to think the reason Wang is not playing in a summer league is that they want to rest his arm over the summer, and then start to build it up again during fall ball. He probably reached some sort of innings limit during the spring season considering that he hadn't pitched all that much since high school.

Patrick Gallagher is no longer on the Westfield Starfires roster. He did very well while he was there, appearing in 6 games, with 20 innings pitched, 2.70 ERA, 2 wins, 23 strikeouts, 5 walks, and 22 hits allowed. Gallagher had one bad game where he gave up 5 earned runs in 5 innings. In the rest of his appearances, he gave up 1 earned run. An incoming freshman with a strikeout to walk ratio that he has is someone to keep an eye on.

Erik Stock, who recently announced that he is transferring to UConn from ODU, is now playing summer ball with the Sanford Mainers of the NECBL. Since he started playing for Sanford in early July, Stock is hitting .308, with a .386 on base percentage, and a .487 slugging percentage in 39 at bats. Stock has been playing 1B and 3B for the Mainers.

Based on summer performances so far, Kevin Ferrer seems like a guy who could really break out as a RS Freshman

Kevin Ferrer and Andy Hague are both having an excellent summer playing for the Adirondack Trail Blazers. In 106 at bats, Ferrer is hitting .406 and has 22 walks to go along with that. He has turned into something of a doubles machine with 15 on the summer season. Hague is currently hitting .353, and has 11 stolen bases in 102 at bats. Hopefully they can both carry their excellent performances over the summer into the fall ball season at UConn.

David Langer has been rather streaky this summer for the Healdsburg Prune Packers (like I've said before, love that name) of the California Collegiate League. Langer's has gotten hot lately, enough to give him a very respectable .296 batting average in 71 at bats. He has 8 doubles and 2 triples to go along with 11 walks to give him a .407 on base percentage and a .465 slugging percentage.

Randy Polonia has had an interesting time in California summer ball. He's been in 10 games, 16.2 innings, with 15 hits, 29 strikeouts, and 9 walks. Batters are hitting .227 against him. Polonia's ERA is 4.32 ERA. That ERA is due to two appearances. In the most recent one which was 2 games ago, he did not record an out while giving up 5 runs (5 hits, including 2 doubles and 2 homers). In an earlier appearnce, he pitched 2 innings while giving up 3 runs off of 3 hits, including another homer. He did not walk anyone either of those 2 games where he gave up the 8 total runs.

Polonia has not given up a run in his other 8 games, which amounts to 14.2 innings pitched. I expect that Polonia is still getting the rust off of missing two complete seasons with UConn due to injury and only pitching sporadically this past spring. While the two games he gave up the runs show that he can explode in your face, the other games with all those strikeouts and low opposing batting average against him also show that he has the potential to be quite a weapon out of the bullpen.

The Healdsburg Prune Packers have a 33-4 record this summer, pretty amazing for a baseball team on any level.

I was a bit worried about the bullpen going into next year, but the performances this summer are giving me some confidence again

Ben Maycock is now with the Mystic Schooners. During his last couple of years in summer ball, that has meant lots of strikeouts, a goodly number of walks, and a number of home runs. And sure enough, in his first game, Maycock had two strikeouts and two hits, including a homer.
