I'll have to check out the pitching schedule for this weekend. Tough to have a bad experience at the Blue Wahoos Stadium.

UConn connections aplenty:



> Passed Ball <

Besides Burrows & Mozzicato:

-> Reggie Crawford, LHP/1B, UConn, High-A, Giants: Two-way star and 2022 first-round draft pick has pitched well with Eugene, posting a 1.13 ERA in six starts (but just eight innings) with 14 K’s and six BB’s. Has only had one at-bat since mid-July promotion to Eugene, however, so perhaps the dream of being the next Shohei is over? BA’s No. 10 prospect in Giants’ organization.

Ben Casparius, RHP, Westport, Double-A, Dodgers: After dominating at High-A Great Lakes (4-0, 2.68 ERA, 1.11 WHIP in eight starts), ex-Staples star struggled early on after promotion to Tulsa. But has allowed just one earned run over his last three starts (13.2 innings), striking out 15. BA’s 26th-ranked prospect in Dodgers’ sytem.

Patrick Winkel, C, Orange/UConn, Double-A, Twins: After a slow start with Wichita, former Amity High star has turned it up in August, hitting .318 with 4 HR, 14 RBI in 66 at-bats to boost his season numbers to .268/9 HR/44 RBI.

Anthony Prato, OF, UConn, Triple-A, Twins: Despite an awful (.171) start at Double-A, got unexpected promotion to St. Paul in early June and has run with it: .311, 8 HR, in 193 at-bats for Saints.

Pat Gallagher, RHP, UConn, High-A, Blue Jays: Pitched strong (3.29 ERA, 1.04 WHIP) at Class-A Dunedin before earning Aug. 1 promotion to Vancouver, where he’s now on injured list after three good starts (2.38 ERA).

Caleb Wurster, LHP, UConn, Double-A, Marlins: Posted a 2.47 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and .163 BAA with 72 K’s in 54.2 innings at High-A Beloit before getting promoted a couple of weeks ago to Pensacola, where he’s thrown three scoreless innings so far.

Andrew Marrero, RHP, New Haven/UConn, High-A, Cardinals: Hard-throwing former Wilbur Cross star has spent entire season playing in Peoria, where he’s posted 11 saves and struck out 77 batters in 55.1 innings.

Austin Peterson, RHP, UConn, Class-A, Guardians: Ninth-round pick in 2022 draft has spent entire season at Lynchburg, going 6-7 with a 4.21 ERA in 22 starts.

Tim Cate, LHP, Manchester/UConn, Triple-A, Nationals: Former second-round draft pick earned first promotion to Triple-A, posting a 5.19 ERA while making transition to bullpen.

Very nice, no Dunkin' Park but what is?

Marrero has been really good this year after a rough start. Can see him getting to double or triple A if he can limit his walks.

Nice summary, that's for sure.

Great update on the CT boys.

I noticed Jacob Wallace wasn't on that list. I thought he was gonna be a sure thing, but he's regressing after a relatively decent year in AA with BoSox system. Now in KC's system, getting hit about and still walking too many (8.9 H/9, 7.9 BB/9).

And if Reggie keeps walking six guys per eight innings, regardless of # of Ks, he'll be picking up a bat again ;-)

I’ll jump on this one. I was saddened, but not surprised, to see Nick Ahmed designated for assignment. He is a good soldier and a good guy. I’m very proud to have him as an alum of UConn baseball.
