“It was a great experience with a great group of guys and coaching staff to go out with everyday and to be in the championship, winning the whole thing last night,” said Ahmed. In the visitor’s dugout last night sat one of Amhed’s college teammates Kevin Vance. Vance, a right-handed pitcher, was promoted within the Chicago White Sox organization to Winston-Salem in mid-July. Since moving up from Kannapolis, he pitched in 11 games with a 1-0 record, 1.66 earned run average and 29 strikeouts over 21.2 innings pitched. Holding a 3-2 lead, Vance was the first reliever called on for the Dash in the seventh inning. Only one base runner reached against him as he struck out three in two innings of work and sent Winston-Salem to the ninth clinging to a one-run lead. The Hillcats rallied for a run in the ninth to send the game to extra-innings and ended it in the 11th on a sacrifice fly by Adam Milligan to seal the victory. “I got to play against [Vance] a ton over the last month of the year,” stated Ahmed. “It was fun to compete with a guy I played with and competed with at UConn.” ...

Staff Reports ARLINGTON, Texas (August 2) - In just over two years in the minors, former University of Connecticut third baseman Mike Olt has been called up to make his debut in Major League Baseball by the Texas Rangers. Olt, who was playing at Double-A Frisco, had his contract purchased by the big league club late Wednesday night. With his call-up, Olt becomes the 12th UConn baseball player to reach the majors and the first to debut since left-handed pitcher Jesse Carlson in 2008. Olt will also be the first Husky to appear in a MLB game this season and continues a streak of 23consecutive years that a player from Connecticut has played in the big leagues, dating back to the debut of righty Charles Nagy in 1990. The last field player to appear in the majors was catcher Brian Esposito in 2010. “We’re so excited for Mike,” said Connecticut head coach Jim Penders. “He is a great example of what our program is all about and I’m glad his hard work and dedication are being rewarded.” For the Frisco RoughRiders of the Texas League, Olt batted
.288, while leading the league in home runs (28), slugging percentage (.579) and OPS (.977). He also ranks second with 82 runs batted in to go with 65 runs, 17 doubles and a .398 on-base percentage. Olt made previous stops in Myrtle Beach (A-Adv.), Spokane (A-S.S.) and with the AZL Rangers (Rook.) as well as a stint in the Arizona Fall League in 2011. He was drafted by Texas with the 49th overall selection as a first round supplementary pick in 2010, making him the first Husky taken in the first round since Nagy in 1988. “He woke his mom and dad to tell them to pack for Texas early this morning,” continued Penders. “He and his brother [former UConn teammate] Brad got them flights to Dallas for his debut tonight. That is the type of son they have raised.” The Rangers are at home tonight to host division rival Los Angeles at 8:05 pm ET. Olt is expected to make his major league debut at first base against former Texas lefty C.J. Wilson (9-7, 2.88). The Rangers are currently four games ahead of the Angels... Continue (Olt)

10th Season Connecticut ’94, G’98 Jim Penders has worked with the University of Connecticut baseball program in 21 of the last 23 years, being associated with the Huskies as a student-athlete, an assistant coach and now head coach. He enters his 10th season at the helm of the program in 2013. Last season, the Huskies’ season ended in the BIG EAST Championship Semifinals with back-to-back losses to USF. UConn’s overall record was 31-27-1. Penders, a three-time BIG EAST Coach of the Year (2011, 2010, 2006), has now led his squad to 30 or more wins in seven of his nine years at Connecticut. In 2011, Penders guided the Huskies to the program’s first regular-season BIG EAST championship title and first appearance in the NCAA Super Regionals. UConn finished the season with a 22-5 mark in conference play, and ended the year with a 45-20-1 overall record. Following their program-best 22 wins in conference play in 2011, the Huskies earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament for the 17th time, including their second straight appearance. As the No. 2 seed in the Clemson Regional, UConn went 4-1 while eliminating all three opponents from NCAA Tournament play, including No. 1 seed Clemson. During 2011, Penders coached 11 student-athletes to BIG EAST postseason honors, including Pitcher of the Year Matt Barnes and Player of the Year George Springer. Three Huskies also earned All-America status under Penders that season, as Barnes and Springer were named first team All-Americans and Kevin Vance was named a second team All-American. In the 2011 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, a program-best 10 Huskies were selected. George Springer (11th overall), and Matt Barnes (19th overall) were firstround selections of the Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox respectively. Joining the two first-rounders were Nick Ahmed (2nd round pick of the Braves), John Andreoli (17th round pick of the Cubs), Greg Nappo (18th round pick of the Marlins), Kevin Vance (19th round pick of the White Sox), Mike Nemeth (21st round pick of the Brewers), Dave Fischer (30th round pick of the Giants), Doug Elliot (35th round pick of the Brewers), and Elliot Glynn (39th round pick of the Brewers). In nine seasons as head coach for the Huskies, he has had a total of 34 players either drafted or signed by professional baseball clubs. Penders’ overall coaching record is 320-211-4.

The 2010 season was one of the most successful seasons in program history, as Penders guided the Huskies to
• 2011 BIG EAST Regular Season Champions • 1990 & 1994 BIG EAST Tournament Champions • 17 Yankee Conference Championships
a program-best 48 wins. After being nationally ranked for the first time since 1979, UConn earned an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since 1994 and hosted the Norwich Regional at Dodd Stadium in Norwich, Conn. Along with the team success, including a UConn-best 22-game win streak, Penders earned multiple coaching accolades as he was named BIG EAST, ECAC, and NEIBA Coach of the Year. He was also named the ABCA/Diamond Northeast Coach of the Year. In 2009, Penders led the Huskies to a 36-24 overall record and an appearance in the BIG EAST Championship final against Louisville. Under Penders’ guidance, George Springer became UConn’s firstever BIG EAST Rookie of the Year following the 2009 season. During 2007, Penders and the Huskies earned a spot in the BIG EAST Championship game after battling their way through the BIG EAST Tournament by upsetting three higher-seeded teams. UConn’s appearance in the title game as the eighth-seed marked the lowest seed in BIG EAST Tournament history to reach the final game. In addition, Penders guided the Huskies to their third straight season with 34 or more wins, as his 2006 and 2007 squads ended the year with 39 and 34 victories respectively. After the 2006 season, a year in which the Huskies went 39-18-1, Penders led his program to a second place finish in the BIG EAST and earned BIG EAST Coach of the Year, and NEIBA Coach of the Year honors, while his team was named the NEIBA Team of the Year. In July of 2003, Penders became just the fifth head coach in the program’s history since 1924 joining Sumner Dole (1924-35), J.O. Christian (1936-61), Larry Panciera (1962-79) and Andy Baylock (1980-2003). Penders was an assistant coach for the Huskies for seven years from 1997-2003 as UConn posted winning seasons in each of those campaigns. As an assistant coach, Penders coordinated the Huskies recruiting of student-athletes, served as a hitting coach and worked with the catchers and outfielders. A standout on the baseball field for Connecticut during his undergraduate career, Penders was a four-year letterwinner as a Husky. He was co-captain of the 1994 UConn squad that won the BIG EAST Conference tournament, and the Huskies advanced to the NCAA Championship in both his junior and senior years. He hit .354 with seven home runs and 46 runs batted in as a senior in 1994. He earned First Team All-Northeast, All-New England and All-BIG EAST honors in his senior year as a catcher. During his UConn career, the Huskies played in the Championship game of the BIG EAST Tournament three times. Penders helped the Huskies to 99 wins over his four seasons, including a 30-18 record in 1994. He also excelled in the classroom as a three-time BIG EAST Academic All-Star. Penders was a four-year member of the UConn Captains’ Council and served as that group’s president during his senior year. Penders graduated from UConn in 1994 with a degree in political science and added a master’s degree from UConn in 1998 from the School of Education. Penders worked in Washington, D.C., from 1994-96 as a political fundraiser for U.S. Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa. Penders returned to UConn for the 1997 season as a graduate

assistant baseball coach and became a fulltime assistant coach for the 1999 season. He also founded and directs the Connecticut Baseball School. The popular camp holds sessions during the summer and winter vacation periods, along with a one-day fall session in October every year. The connection between the Penders family and UConn athletics runs deep. Penders’ father, Jim, and uncle, Tom, both graduated from UConn and played on the Huskies’ 1965 College World Series team. Jim is a 1966 UConn graduate and recently retired as the baseball coach at East Catholic High School. He won 600 games in 43 seasons and coached his three sons. He was an infielder for the Huskies and had a career batting average of .279, including a .323 mark his senior year. He was a captain of the ’65 squad and the only player to hit over .300 for the Huskies that season. Jim has won four Connecticut high school state championships at East Catholic and was named the national high school coach of the year in 1996. In the summer of 2008 he was inducted into the National High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame, and in June of 2009, the baseball field at East Catholic was named in his honor. Tom, a 1967 UConn graduate, was the head men’s basketball coach at Tufts (1971-74), Columbia (1974-78), Fordham (1978-86), Rhode Island (1986-88), Texas (1988-89), George Washington (1998-2000) and Houston (2004-10). Tom was a two-sport star at UConn in baseball and basketball as he played in two NCAA tournaments (1965 and 1967) and the 1965 College World Series. Penders’ extended family also includes a prominent former Husky. His former classmate, teammate, battery-mate and 1994 Lawrence R. Panciera Most Valuable Player, Aaron Quinn, is now his brother-in-law. Quinn pitched for the Huskies from 1991-94 and married Penders’ sister-inlaw, Courtney in 1999. Penders’ younger brother Rob is the head coach of Division II St. Edward’s University of Austin, Texas. His grandfather Jim was the longtime baseball coach at Stratford (Conn.) High School from 193168 and won four state championships, a record matched by Penders’ father at East Catholic. He was also the head of the physical education department and the town’s recreation director. The Stratford High School baseball and football complex is named in his honor. Penders is also actively involved with several baseball clinics around the globe as he has presented as a featured clinician in Regensburg, Germany to German baseball coaches for International Sports Group/ Major League Baseball International. In addition to Germany, in January of 2008, he ventured overseas to instruct Swedish coaches in a three-day national clinic in Leksand, Sweden. In January of 2009, he flew to the Czech Republic for more presentations. Penders has also spent several years working at the World Baseball Convention in Uncasville, Conn., the Be The Best You Are Clinic in Cherry Hill, N.J., as well as conducting a catching clinic at the ABCA National Convention
• Five BIG EAST Players of the Year • Three BIG EAST Pitchers of the Year • Four BIG EAST Coaches of the Year
in Nashville, Tenn. in 2004. He presented again at the ABCA National Convention in Anaheim in January of 2012. In addition, Penders contributed a chapter in the published book, Gold Glove Baseball, in which he dissects catching techniques. A native of Vernon, Conn., Penders was an all-state performer in baseball at East Catholic High School and served as his senior class president. In 2011, he was inducted into the ECHS Hall of Fame. A daily runner, Penders completed his first marathon in Philadelphia in November 2011. Penders and his wife, Brooke, reside in Old Wethersfield, Conn., and have three children – a daughter, Tess Avery (11), and sons, James Henry “Hank” (9), and Charles Edward “Charlie” (5).

Jeff Hourigan Assistant Coach Recruiting Coordinator Second Season Connecticut ’05
Jeff Hourigan begins his second season on coach Jim Penders’ staff in 2013. Hourigan, who played at UConn for two seasons, returned to Storrs after spending five years as an assistant coach and pitching coach at the University of New Haven. While working for head coach Raphael Cerrato, Hourigan helped guide the Chargers to an East Coast Conference regular season championship (2008), an NCAA Regional berth (2010), and led the pitching staff to an ERA of 2.90 which was the second best mark in the country during the 2010 season. Prior to his coaching career at New Haven, Hourigan was a student assistant coach for UConn during the 2006 season, working closely with the first basemen and pitchers. He split his collegiate playing career between Clemson and Connecticut, playing for the Tigers during the 2002 and 2003 seasons and was part of the Husky lineup during the 2004 and 2005 seasons. In 2002, he competed in the College World Series as a part of a Clemson team that finished third nationally. As a senior, Hourigan was named team captain and went on to earn second team AllBIG EAST and team MVP honors. At Clemson, he earned honorable mention Freshman All-American. “I am thrilled to have Jeff back in Storrs,” Penders said. “He was an outstanding player, captain, and student assistant for us, and also did a fantastic job assisting Coach Cerrato at New Haven. Above all, Jeff is a leader with a legendarily strong will to do things the right way all the time. He is a proud UConn alum who made a real name for himself during his playing days here and I’m so excited to continue building our program with him at my side.” Between Clemson and Connecticut, Hourigan played in 185 games and batted .303 for his career. He scored 104 runs, drove in 129 and belted 25 homeruns. At UConn alone, he hit .333 with 17 home runs in 90 games. On the mound, he recorded a 10-8 record in 21 starts for the Huskies and struck out 103 batters in 136.1 innings pitched. Entering college, Hourigan was named the 2001 Gatorade Connecticut Player of the Year, while playing at Masuk High School in Monroe. He also helped lead Naugatuck Post 17 to the 2001 American Legion State Championship. Hourigan and his wife Connie live in Prospect and welcomed their first child, Jeffrey C. Hourigan Jr. on May 23, 2012.

During his time with the club, the Braves won the CCBL championship during 2009 and then won the Western Division championship in 2010. As an integral part of the coaching staff, MacDonald also guided one of his players to become the 2010 CCBL Outstanding Pitcher of the Year. Prior to his stint with the Bourne Braves, he served as a pitching coach for Long Island University from 2007-2009, where he tutored four pitchers who went on to play professionally. MacDonald finished his collegiate playing career in 2006, after helping the Huskies to a second place finish during the BIG EAST regular season and a then school record 39 wins. At the time, he was third on the all-time pitching appearance list at UConn and is currently ninth after the 2012 season. MacDonald served as the head baseball coach of the St. Thomas More Prep squad from 2010-2011, along with stints as head junior varsity basketball coach and assistant football coach. He was also a history teacher at St. Thomas More Prep during that time. “Josh’s experience in the Cape developing some of the best collegiate pitchers in the country, along with evaluation and recruiting skills honed at LIU provide a great foundation for what I believe is going to grow into a great coaching career,” Penders said. “His loyalty to UConn and passion for teaching are going to be so well received by our student-athletes. I can’t wait to work with him again.”

10th Season Connecticut ’93 So. Connecticut G’03 Chris Podeszwa enters his 10th season as an assistant coach at the University of Connecticut. Podeszwa’s focus is primarily on the instruction of infielders and hitters. Podeszwa was an integral part of the 2011 UConn club that won the program’s first-ever BIG EAST Regular Season Championship and advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals for the first time. In 2010, Podeszwa helped the Huskies’ set new singleseason records in hits, runs scored and RBI, besting the records the club set in 2009. UConn recorded 750 hits, 542 runs scored and 492 RBI in 2010. After graduating from UConn in 1993, Podeszwa served as an envoy coach for Major League Baseball International in New York and Europe. His responsibilities included preparing the German Junior National Team for the European Championships while organizing coordinated clinics for youth players and coaches. “Dez is a full-time teacher and there is nobody that works harder than he does,” said Penders. “His energy is contagious and his contribution to our success has been outstanding. The fire he had as one of my teammates burns just as hot today as one of our coaches.” In 1995, Podeszwa moved to Sweden to play and coach for the Skelleftea Bears Baseball Club in Skelleftea, Sweden. His stay in Scandinavia was highlighted by both of his teams capturing the Swedish National Championship. In 1996, Podeszwa was hired as the assistant baseball coach at Mitchell College in New London, Conn., and in 1998, he became the assistant baseball coach for the University of Connecticut’s Avery Point branch under head coach Roger Bidwell. At Avery Point, Podeszwa helped lead his squads to the NJCAA Region XXI Championship in 1999 and 2000. Avery Point also captured the Northeast Region Championship in 1999 and earned a trip to the NJCAA Division II World Series. In between summer evaluation and recruiting assignments for the Huskies, Podeszwa continues to serve as an assistant baseball coach for Yarmouth-Dennis of the Cape Cod Baseball League. He enters his 15th season with the Red Sox, who won the league championship in 2004, 2006 and 2007. Podeszwa played at UConn from 1990-93. He was part of the 1990 BIG EAST Championship club and played every position for the Huskies except center field. He and Penders were teammates at UConn for three seasons. Podeszwa, who earned a master’s degree in 2003 at Southern Connecticut, is married to UConn alum, Isabella Basile. The couple has three children, Sophia, born May 17, 2000, Connor, born April 1, 2003 and Emilia, born January 5, 2006. They reside in Waterford, Conn.

The University of Connecticut is committed to each of its student-athletes as a total person. Participation in athletics is important, but it represents only one aspect of the players college experience. At the University of Connecticut, academic achievement is the primary concern. Impressively, for the past five years the Connecticut student-athlete retention rate has been 99.0 percent. The University’s commitment to the student-athlete is a dual one. Participation in athletics is not viewed as an obstacle to the attainment of one’s educational goals, rather it is seen as a complementary activity. Each supports the other. Athletic excellence is stressed, but academic achievement is never compromised - indeed, it is given the utmost priority. The University realizes that all student-athletes, due to their academic involvement, are required to commit a large percentage of their personal time to University sponsored athletic activities. For this reason, the University recognizes the need for a support program for its intercollegiate athletes. The Counseling Program for Intercollegiate Athletes (CPIA) constantly assists all studentathletes in achieving their academic goals. The CPIA staff serves as a liaison to the academic faculty, the Division of Athletics, and the student-athlete. In serving as a liaison between the Connecticut student-athletes and University faculty and staff, the CPIA counselors also provide assistance in securing appropriate support services available with the University. These include orientation for student-athletes, supervised study halls, individual tutors and tutorial centers (an English/Writing Center, Math Center and Reading Center), and learning skills seminars. For the past four years, the writing lab and computers have been networked to a national database which allow all studentathletes to do research at their actual computer stations. A counselor is assigned to work with each intercollegiate team, and working directly with the UConn baseball program is Alana Linick. Linick, a UConn 2001 graduate who now works as a CPIA counselor, monitors all aspects of each athlete’s academic life, including class schedule, arranging for tutors and progress toward a degree. Linick earned her bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Relations at UConn before getting her M.Ed in Psychology: Athletic Counseling at Springfield College in 2005. The goal at the university as well as for the CPIA department is for each Husky student-athlete is to earn a degree so they can become a success in whatever field they choose.

2013 Season Preview
• Five College World Series Appearances • 17 NCAA Tournament Appearances • 2011 NCAA Super Regional Participant
Connecticut Baseball
Head coach Jim Penders enters his 10th season at the helm of the University of Connecticut baseball team. Following the 2012 campaign, he owns a 320-211-4 record, ranking second all-time in wins at UConn. Penders and the Huskies aim for a return trip to the NCAA Tournament after missing out a year ago, the only time in the three-year careers of UConn’s senior class. The coaching staff will look to the leadership of fifth-year senior Billy Ferriter (Nashua, N.H.), who was voted a team captain for the second straight year. Ferriter and fellow senior LJ Mazzilli (Greenwich, Conn.) are the only remaining starters from Connecticut’s 2011 NCAA Super Regional squad. Mazzilli was one of three Huskies taken in the 2012 MLB First Year Draft and joined a group of 76 players drafted out of UConn since 1965 and 27th since Penders took over as head coach in 2004. After being taken 280th overall in the ninth round by the Minnesota Twins, Mazzilli elected to return to Storrs for his fourth and final season wearing National Flag blue and white.
Pitchers
The UConn pitching staff returns 368.2 (71%) innings pitched from last season, but just a collective 18-20 record. The challenge for the Husky coaching staff will be determining who will pitch those innings and more importantly; when. Junior LHP Anthony Marzi (Berlin, Conn.) acquired the role of staff ace last spring and is expected to pick up where he left off as a weekend starter and continue to emerge as a leader. The 6’1 southpaw started 15 games to a 3-8 record in 2012. Marzi earned a 2.55 earned run average, best among UConn starters, and struck out 64 batters, while walking just 20 in 98.2 innings of work. Penders will look to a moderately experienced group to fill out the rest of the weekend rotation. Junior lefty Brian Ward (Milford, Conn.) looks to reestablish the success he had early last spring and during his freshman year. Standing at 6’3, he returns after Anthony Marzi spending the summer working on increasing his overall strength and is expected to grab a spot in the rotation once again. Ward went 3-5 with a 5.57 ERA last year through 53.1 innings. He dominated in February and early March with a 1.71 ERA and a 3-0 record, including a win over No. 22 Oklahoma, in his first four starts. Redshirt-sophomores Carson Cross (Brentwood, N.H.) and Jordan Tabakman (Pompton Plains, N.J.) will be counted on in the rotation as well. Cross, a 6’5 righty that pitched for the Hyannis Harborhawks of the Cape Cod Baseball League in 2012, emerged as a vital piece of the pitching staff as a rookie and will work on increasing his work load after moving out of the bullpen last May. He went 3-1 and has the lowest ERA of returning pitchers at 1.21. Tabakman, a 6’4 righty, returns this year coming off an injury that sidelined him in mid-April. Before being shutdown, he went 3-1 with a 4.25 ERA in eight appearances, including five starts. Senior Pat Butler (Chatham, N.J.), a 6’5 right-hander, brings valuable experience to the staff as he looks to crack the weekend rotation after serving as UConn’s primary mid-week starter last season. After a strong finish to his junior year, including a relief appearance at the BIG EAST Tournament, he figures to fit in both as a starter and reliever. Butler posted a 2-3 record and struck out a career-best 35 batters in 56.1 innings on the mound. Freshmen Willie Nastasi (Centerville, Mass.) and Michael Niego (Hillsdale, N.J.) proved during fall ball that they could
10 | 2013 UConn Baseball
• 2011 BIG EAST Regular Season Champions • 1990 & 1994 BIG EAST Tournament Champions • 17 Yankee Conference Championships
be viable starting candidates for the Huskies in the future. A 6’5 RHP, Nastasi brings a projectable arm with an ability to show great feel for his secondary pitches, while Niego, a 6’1 LHP, has shown a loose arm, but needs to become more consistent before making it into the Connecticut rotation. In the bullpen, senior righty Dan Feehan (Nashua, N.H.) returns as the most experienced veteran. With 71 career games under his belt, the 6’0 sinker-balling setup-man will be a vital cog in the late innings for the Huskies. As a junior, Feehan fanned 20 batters in 20.2 innings, while going 1-2 with a 5.66 ERA. Also adding experience to the pen will be redshirt-senior Will Jolin (Guilford, Conn.). The 6’2 righty owned a 4.18 ERA with a win and a save last season in 14 appearances. Moving to the pitching staff full-time is senior Ryan Moore (Bristol, Conn.). In 2012, the 6’2 RHP spent the majority of his season in right field, while making just eight appearances out of the bullpen. The athletic, two-way product brings a live arm that can touch velocities in the mid-90s as he shifts his focus to the mound. Moore, who spent the summer on the Cape with the Falmouth Commodores, will factor in to the late innings for Connecticut after tossing eight innings and striking out 10 a year ago. At the plate, he batted .216 with 17 runs scored and six stolen bases. Redshirt-sophomore David Mahoney (Colchester, Conn.) emerged as a standout in the Huskies’ bullpen after being used sparingly in the early weeks of 2012. A 6’3 LHP, he will be counted on for big outs right away. In 10 games and 19 innings last year, Mahoney registered a 1.89 ERA and 11 Ks, while earning one win. Also looking for an increased role in the bullpen, due to his control of three pitches, is sophomore RHP Michael Healey (Tunkhannock, Pa.). Standing at 6’1, he pitched 9.1 innings, striking out eight as a rookie. Sophomore Devin Over (Windsor, Conn,), a 6’1 right-hander, has a heavy sinking fastball and incredible athletic ability. He is expected to compete right away for outs in a deep UConn bullpen. Last year, Over pitched to a 1.69 ERA in just 5.1 innings and saw the field primarily as a pinch-runner; scoring five runs. Senior Stephen Catalina (Wolcott, Conn.), a 6’3 right-hander, also looks to secure a spot in the bullpen. His velocity and off-speed pitches have improved as he works to come back from Tommy John surgery, less than two years ago. Catalina appeared in just one game last year and has appeared in 19 in his career. Redshirt-freshman Max Slade (Cheshire, Conn.) is among the newcomers looking for innings out of the bullpen. A 5’11 righty, Slade missed all of 2012 with an injury. Freshmen righties Matt D’Ariano (Yonkers, N.Y.) and Ryan Radue (Appleton, Wis.) will also seek playing time right away. At 6’2, D’Ariano needs to work on consistency to find innings, while the 6’4 Radue brings a fastball that touches the low-90s and could see time right away. Freshman left-handers Christian Colletti (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) and Jed Robinson (Winchester, Mass.) will also be battling for position in the pen. Colletti, at 6’2, is expected to come in right away and compete for innings and could see time as a starter as the season progresses, while the 6’1 Robinson brings a plethora of off-speed pitches and could log significant innings.
Catchers
Over the past two seasons, Connecticut has lost valuable experience behind the plate with the graduations of five-year seniors Doug Elliot in 2011 and Joe Pavone in 2012. Sophomore Connor David (Cheshire, Conn.) has emerged as the leading candidate to catch the majority of games in 2013. An occasional starter and frequent left-handed pinchhitter, he hit .333 with six RBI in 60 at-bats last season. Freshman Max McDowell (North Huntington, Pa.) will be counted on to challenge for starting assignments right from the get go. He brings some pop in a righty bat and should get plenty of opportunities as a freshman.
Infield
In 2012, the Huskies spent the majority of the season shuffling around the infield, with the exception of second and short. Mazzilli and junior Tom Verdi (Warwick, R.I.), both right-handed bats, provide stability and experience for Connecticut up the middle. Mazzilli, the BIG EAST Preseason Player of the Year, will hit third and play second base after an All-BIG EAST First Team campaign in 2012. He led the team in batting average (.339), hits (81), doubles (19), home runs (9), RBI (38) and slugging percentage (.548), while tying for the
• 84 MLB Draft Picks • 19 All-Americans • 34 All-BIG EAST First Team Selections
Connecticut Baseball team-lead in runs (43). Mazzilli, who owns the best offensive instincts on the team, has worked toward increasing his power and speed in the offseason. “Getting LJ back for his senior year was such a pleasant surprise. He has the ability to lead us as one of the best players in college baseball, this season,” said Penders. “During his three years with us, he has proven to be one of, if not, the best postseason performers we’ve had here.”
LJ Mazzilli
Verdi will hit near the top or middle of the UConn batting order after hitting .289 in several spots last season. He scored 38 runs, drove in 35, stole 10 bases and smacked four HRs. Verdi possesses excellent defensive skills and brings an improved approach to the plate, while also taking on a leadership role among a relatively young group of infielders.
Freshman Bobby Melley (Barnstable, Mass.), a catcher by nature and a lefty at the plate, is a talented power hitter that will likely earn immediate playing time at first base. He is also capable of earning starts behind the dish as well as at designated hitter. A pair of versatile freshman infielders, consisting of righty Vinny Siena (Woodbridge, Conn.) and lefty Bryan Daniello (Norwalk, Conn.), will be competing for the starting third base position come February. Siena has the most power potential of all the UConn newcomers and should earn starts immediately. His defensive range is improving and should lead to starts at third, but is also capable of playing all positions on the infield. On the other side of the plate, Daniello, the Connecticut Gatorade Player of the Year, is a quick middle infielder with good hands and range in the field. He is capable of playing second, third, short and the outfield and should earn at-bats as the season progresses. Junior Michael Habzda (Glastonbury, Conn.), a left-handed hitter, is the only true first baseman on the roster. Another in a long-line of UConnAvery Point products, he is one of four Huskies to cut their teeth in junior college under UCAP head coach Roger Bidwell.
Outfield
Ferriter will anchor the UConn outfield from center field as he looks to build on his All-BIG EAST First Team selection from 2012. Once again the right-handed hitter will be the team’s lead-off hitter and will be counted on to ignite the Husky offense. Ferriter, who spent a second summer with Falmouth on the Cape, batted .319 last season with 31 RBI, led the team with 24 steals and tied for the team lead in runs at 43. “Billy has quietly and doggedly emerged as a leader over his four-plus years in our program,” stated Penders. “His teammates not only respect his work ethic, but they also know how far he has come as a student and athlete during his time here. I’m confident he will do a good job leading us to our goals in 2013.” Sophomore Eric Yavarone (North Haven, Conn.) was a steady performer up-anddown the UConn lineup as a rookie. As the everyday starter in left field, he hit .270 with 24 RBI and 23 runs. Yavarone, a NECBL AllStar over the summer, should provide quality at-bats after proving he can hit in several spots in the order. Fellow sophomore Jon Testani (Monroe, Conn.), a righty bat, has made the move from the infield to the outfield. After seeing most of his playing time come at third base in the middle of last season, Testani is a leading candidate for the clean-up spot and will look for starts in the corner outfield spots. A hardworking power threat, he will look to become a more consistent hitter after batting .267 with three homers and 21 RBI as a rookie.

Senior Stanley Paul (Stamford, Conn.) is a DH option from the leftside with some power and an explosive bat. If his defensive jumps and routes improve, he has the skill-set to be an everyday starter in right or left. Paul, in his second year in Storrs after playing at Avery-Point, hit .215 with nine RBI and eight doubles in 2012, while also being named an ACBL All-Star over the summer. An exciting local product, freshman Jack Sundberg (Mansfield, Conn.) will provide depth to the outfield. Coming out of nearby E.O. Smith High School, this lefty bat is a speedy outfielder capable of stealing bases and running down balls in the gap and is one of the team’s best overall athletes. Junior Ryan Brahm (East Lyme, Conn.), a righty bat and transfer from Avery-Point, is a high-energy utility player with good defensive abilities in the outfield and could be a quality reserve in 2013.
Schedule
Connecticut’s 2013 schedule opens in Dunedin, Fla. against Purdue on February 15 and continues against Indiana and a second game against the Boilermakers in the season’s opening-weekend. The UConn schedule features 14 games against opponents that played in last season’s NCAA Tournament; including Purdue, Sam Houston State (Mar. 8-10), Sacred Heart (Mar. 13), College of Charleston (Mar. 19), St. John’s (Apr. 5-7) and Louisville (May 10-12). “As always, the chief concern is to win in the Big East, as the regular season crown is the first possible championship in every campaign,” stated Penders. “With 14 games scheduled against teams that were in the NCAA tournament in 2012, we have quite a challenge ahead. If we want to be the best, we’ll have to beat the best.” Early in the season, the Huskies will also take part in the UCF Tournament (Feb. 22-24), the Stetson Tournament (Mar. 1-3) as well a three-game series at SHSU and Presbyterian (Mar. 15-17), followed by a game at Charleston. “Our aim in scheduling so aggressively in February and early March is to prepare our team for the rigors of the Big East. We’ve done that with the quality teams we are playing in Florida, Texas, and South Carolina.” The home portion of the slate begins with the first BIG EAST series of the season as UConn hosts Georgetown (Mar. 22-24). The month of April features 20 games over a 28-day stretch, including 11 games at home. Once again, the BIG EAST Championship will be held at Bright House Networks Field in Clearwater, Fla. The tournament is scheduled for May 22 through 26.

2012 Season Review
After back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances for the first time since 1993 and 1994, the Huskies’ season ended short of the national tournament. Connecticut amassed a 31-27-1 overall record and finished 16-11 in the BIG EAST; good enough for fifth. In the postseason, UConn posted a pair of wins before two one-run losses en route to elimination from the BIG EAST Championship.
Early Season Coverage
In the first month of the season, Connecticut was one of the toughest teams in the country to face on a Friday. Left-handed starter Brian Ward got off to a blistering start, leading the Huskies to victory in three of his first four starts and was named the BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week after pitching 7.1 innings of shutout ball in the season opener against Indiana, an 8-0 win at the BIG EAST/Big Ten Challenge in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Connecticut’s record was up-and-down throughout the month of April; a month that featured two separate four-game win streaks, but also a four- and three-game skid. In conference play, the Huskies went to Pittsburgh and came away with a sweep and took the first two against Rutgers, including a 9-8 walk-off; won on a 10th inning single through the right side by Tim Martin with runners on first and second.
Down the Stretch
BIG EAST First Team 2B LJ Mazzilli
Back on the (BIG) EAST Coast
Connecticut returned to the “Nutmeg State” for its home opener against Yale and snapped a four-game slide with an 8-0 shutout, behind seven scoreless innings from righty Pat Butler, who didn’t allow a hit in the first five innings. Beginning with the win over the Beavers (Mar. 10) and ending in the win over Yale (Mar. 21), Mazzilli hit five home runs in six games. He also recorded a 15-game hitting streak from March 4-30. BIG EAST play opened with Connecticut visiting West Virginia for the final time as league opponents; ending with a clean sweep for the Huskies. UConn finished March by taking two against defending BIG EAST Tournament Champion Seton Hall at home. Head Coach Jim Penders picked up his 300th career win in an 11-6 decision over Hartford (Mar. 27) at J.O. Christian (254) Field; defeating former assistant coach and current Hawks skipper Justin Blood. He passed Larry Panciera (297) for second most wins all-time during the sweep at WVU. Penders’ all-time record is 320-211-4, all at Connecticut. He trails his predecessor Andy Baylock (556) for most wins in the UConn dugout.

April Baseball
On the road, Connecticut found itself looking to salvage games come Sunday and did just that against St. John’s and Louisville. Beginning with a 5-3 come-from behind win against Pittsburgh on April 7, the Husky starting rotation went 22 straight games without ending up on the long-side of the decision. The streak wasn’t snapped until RHP David Fischer struck out 10 batters over eight shutout innings against Notre Dame (May 17).
UConn headed west for a trip to the Pacific Coast for a second straight season. At the NIKE Showcase, hosted by Oregon and Oregon State, the Huskies posted a 2-2 record. Connecticut garnered an early-season signature win by defeating No. 22 Oklahoma, a game started by Ward, 8-7 in Eugene, Ore. UConn’s second win of the weekend came in a comeback effort against co-host Oregon State, 6-3. After trailing 3-1 in the fourth, the Huskies grabbed their first lead of the night on a two-run home run by second baseman LJ Mazzilli in the seventh. In the finale, UConn fell to No. 17 Oregon, 4-0, despite LHP Anthony Marzi tossing the first complete game of his career.
300-Win Milestone
• 2011 BIG EAST Regular Season Champions • 1990 & 1994 BIG EAST Tournament Champions • 17 Yankee Conference Championships
Jockeying for playoff positioning, UConn went 2-1 against Cincinnati, 0-3 at USF and 2-1 against Notre Dame to earn the five-seed at the BIG EAST Championship. Both wins over the Bearcats were of the walk-off variety. The Huskies took game one of a doubleheader at Dodd Stadium, 4-3, won on a ninth-inning double by Mazzilli. In the series finale, third baseman Ryan Fuller blasted a two-run homer in the 13th, UConn’s longest game of the season to mark a 6-4 win.
18th Round Draft Pick David Fischer
Bullpen Bulldog
Right-handed pitcher Scott Oberg pitched 36.1 innings out of the bullpen in 22 appearances after sitting out the 2011 season due to Tommy John surgery. Oberg assumed the role of closer in 2012 and nailed down nine saves. He also tied for the teamlead in wins with a perfect 5-0 record. He is just one of two pitcher to post five wins or more without making a start since 1990. He also accomplished this feat in 2010 when he went 5-2.
BIG EAST Tournament - Clearwater, Fla.
In the opening round of the BIG EAST Tournament, Fischer pitched 6.2 innings to earn his fifth win of the season in a 7-2 victory over USF. The UConn offense erupted for 14 hits, led by outfielder Billy Ferriter’s 2-for-4 day with two runs and two RBI. Against top-seeded Louisville, Marzi pitched a gem as the Huskies moved on with a 4-1 win over the Cardinals. He pitched 8.2 innings, allowed four hits and just one unearned run. Mazzilli powered the offense with three hits and a pair of runs scored. UConn met up with USF in the semifinals for a re-match. Ward and Butler combined to pitch 8.1 innings and allowed just two hits, but the Bulls tagged Ward for a solo home run in the fourth that stood as the deciding factor Anthony Marzi pitched 8.2 innings for the in a 1-0 game. Facing win against Louisville in Clearwater.

USF came back to take the lead with two runs in the seventh inning to knock out Connecticut by a 2-1 Seniors Tim Martin and John Sulzicki score. UConn righty (coaching 1B) at the BIG EAST Tournament. Carson Cross started and shutout the Bulls for 5.2 innings. For his efforts, Mazzilli was named to the BIG EAST All-Tournament Team. He led UConn with eight hits in four games.
Postseason Honors
Ferriter, Mazzilli and Oberg were all named to the All-BIG EAST First Team, while Joe Pavone was named the All-BIG EAST Third Team catcher. Oberg was the only non-starting pitcher to earn a spot on the first team. He and Mazzilli were also named to the ABCA Regional Second Team. The NEIBA All-Star Team consisted of six Huskies; including Ferriter, Fuller, Martin, Marzi, Mazzilli and Oberg. Pavone was selected as a member of the Capital One CoSIDA Academic All-District Team.
MLB Draft
Following a banner year for Connecticut players in the MLB Draft, three were selected in 2012. Mazzilli was the first off the board in the ninth round with the 280th overall pick by the Minnesota Twins. Oberg was also selected on the second day of the draft as he was taken in the 15th round by the Colorado Rockies with the 468th overall pick. In the 18th round, Fischer was drafted for the third time in the last five drafts. He was selected with the 564th overall pick by the Washington Nationals. Fischer had previously been drafted out of high school by the Los Angeles Angels (44th, 1,338) in 2008 and after his junior year by the San Francisco Giants (30th, 927) in 2011. Fuller went undrafted, but was signed immediately after the draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Huskies in the Pros
With Oberg, Fischer and Fuller joining the professional ranks following the 2012 collegiate season, 16 former Huskies were playing professional baseball in affiliated minor leagues. Former major league catcher Brian Esposito played at the highest level of minor league ball with the Iowa Cubs (AAA). Four different players played in AA, including Mike Olt of the Frisco (TEX) RoughRiders and Erik Turgeon of the Binghamton Mets, during the first half of the season. Mike Tarsi emerged from independent ball with the Mississippi Braves during the course of the season, while late in the summer George Springer was promoted to the Corpus Christi (HOU) Hooks. Springer previously had great success as an all-star in the California League at high-A ball. Nick Ahmed also impressed with the Lynchburg (ATL) Hillcats (A-Adv.), helping his team to the Carolina League Championship where he was named the series MVP. Also playing in high-A ball were John Andreoli of the Daytona Cubs, Matt Barnes of the Scott Oberg posted a 0.99 ERA; the Salem Red Sox and lowest in program history since 1976. Kevin Vance of

the Winston-Salem (CHW) Dash. Olt and Barnes also represented UConn at the All-Star Futures Game in Kansas City on July 8.
Olt Makes MLB Debut
On August 2, Olt made his Major League debut for the Texas Rangers after receiving his call-up early that morning. He became the 12th Husky to make it to the majors and the first since 2008. His appearance marked the 23rd straight season that a former UConn player was active in the MLB. Batting eighth and playing first base, Olt lined a single to left off Angels starter C.J. Wilson in his first at-bat. Just over a week later, he delivered a two-out, pinch-hit single through the hole for a 2-1, walk-off victory over the Detroit Tigers.
UConn Record Book
In just their junior seasons, Ferriter and Mazzilli made great strides in the record books. Ferriter moved into third all-time in career stolen bases with 73, just seven back of the all-time leader Dennis Dwyer. He also scored his 145th career run to pass Olt for 11th all-time. Ferriter currently ranks eighth in career hits with 213, while Mazzilli is tied for 12th with 203. Mazzilli also passed Pierre LePage for fourth all-time in doubles with 51, while Fuller finished his career ninth with 43, in just two seasons at Connecticut. Mazzilli also tied Ferriter’s 2010 total for hits in a season with 81, which ranks 11th BIG EAST First Team all-time. On the mound, Oberg’s 0.99 ERA is the eighth lowest in OF Billy Ferriter a single season. His 1.59 ERA is ninth in the career rankings. Oberg and Dan Feehan are tied for fourth in all-time appearances with 71 games pitched, while Fischer finished his career in sixth with 66 games. Oberg’s 11 career saves are good enough for fifth all-time, while Fischer leaves with 154 strikeouts; the 19th most in a career.
Familiar Faces in the Dugout
Jeff Hourigan and Josh MacDonald returned to Connecticut as assistant coaches in 2012. Hourigan played for the Huskies in 2004 and 2005, while MacDonald was a member of the UConn squad from 2002-06. Along with Penders (‘94) and assistant coach Chris Podeszwa (‘93), the entire Connecticut coaching staff consisted of players that played for the Huskies.

All-Time Coaches/Records
J.O. Christian begins the first of 26 seasons at the helm of the UConn baseball team.
All-Time Coaching Records
J.O. CHRISTIAN J.O. Christian began coaching football and baseball at UConn in 1934 following an eight-year term as head coach of all sports at Eveleth (MN) College, where his football team compiled a fantastic record, losing only once from 1929-33. His baseball nines were in the NCAA College World Series in 1957 and 1959; and his 1958 club lost the chance when it bowed out to Holy Cross, 2-1, in 10 innings in a game for the New England representation. The 1959 team (rated by Christian as his best ever) had a 20-1 record, being undefeated in New England competition. He won nine out of 14 Yankee Conference pennants and two New England titles. His baseball teams recorded 258 wins, 170 losses and seven ties. During his 16 years as head football coach, he led his Huskies to 66-51-4 overall record. He served as interim basketball coach for part of the 1936 season. The Connecticut Alumni Association’s Outstanding Service Award “as the man who has done the most for the University” was presented to him in 1945 and again in 1959. He also received the “Gold Key”, given by the Connecticut Sportswriters Alliance (1959) for outstanding contribution in Connecticut state sports. On April 29, 1960, the UConn Club presented “Christy” its annual outstanding contribution award. He was president of the American Association of College Baseball Coaches in 1960; and chairman of the NCAA District One Baseball Selection Committee, completing his term in 1958. He is in the ABCA Hall of Fame. His active coaching career began in 1926 at Eveleth and included 28 years at the University of Connecticut, all as head baseball coach. A native of Roland, Iowa, he was educated in Wilmar, Minn., schools, and attended Hamline University and the University of Minnesota. Christian passed away on October 21, 1979, at the age of 81. He and his wife Corinne had three daughters, Marion, Anne, and Claire.

Larry Panciera was a member of the UConn athletics staff for 30 years. Panciera served as head coach of baseball at Connecticut for 18 years (1962-1979). He compiled a 297-160-5 record as head coach, was named NCAA New England Coach-of-the-Year six times and led Connecticut to the College World Series three times (1965, 1972, 1979). In 1979, his final Husky team recorded 31 wins as the Huskies won both the ECAC Division I New England Championship and the NCAA Northeast Region title to advance to the College World Series for the fifth time in school history. In his final year of coaching, Panciera was honored as the 1979 NCAA Northeast Regional Coach of the Year. At Connecticut, Panciera was part of all five of UConn’s trips to the NCAA College World Series, twice as an assistant in 1957 and 1959, and three times as head coach in 1965, 1972 and 1979. During his tenure as head coach, 40 student-athletes who played for Panciera at Connecticut went on to sign professional baseball contracts. He spent his retirement years at his home in the Weekapaug section of Westerly, R.I., before passing away on September 8, 1998, at the age of 76. He was survived by his two sons, David and Michael.
Andy BAYLOCK
Andy Baylock retired in 2003 after 24 years at the helm of the baseball program. In January of 1996, Baylock was honored with induction into the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame at the national convention in Nashville, Tenn. Baylock’s tenure was the winningest period in the illustrious history of Connecticut Baseball, leading the UConn program to 556 wins over his 24 seasons, averaging over 23 wins per season during his tenure. Baylock’s 24th season as the head coach of the Huskies was his 39th year of consecutive service to the Husky baseball program. Prior to the start of his head coaching career, Baylock spent 15 years as the top assistant coach to then-head coach Larry Panciera and also served as head freshman football coach. When Baylock’s assistant coaching tenure is taken into account, he has been part of an overall UConn record of 812-614-11 during the past 39 seasons. The New Britain, Conn., native has personally coached 1,447 of the 2,327 games (62 percent) that have ever been played involving the University of Connecticut baseball program. In the summers of 1985 and 1989, Baylock was the pitching coach for the U.S. Senior National Team that competed against other national teams in the United States, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Japan, Korea and Canada. He also was pitching coach for the U.S. squad that finished second in the International Harbor Tournament in Taiwan in the fall of 1988. A graduate of Central Connecticut State University, Baylock and his wife, Barbara, reside in Mansfield Center and have three children, all of whom attended the University of Connecticut - Jennifer, Jeffrey and Andrea. He remains at UConn as the Director of Alumni and Community Relations for the UConn football program.
Andy Baylock 1980-2003
Jim PENDERS
Jim Penders is in his 10th season as head baseball coach after taking over for longtime Husky coach Andy Baylock in 2004. Penders, a 1994 graduate of the University of Connecticut, was a member of Baylock’s most successful teams. Penders’ teams qualified for three BIG EAST Tournaments (1992-94) with all three teams advancing to the BIG EAST Tournament Final. Penders captained the 1994 squad that captured the BIG EAST Tournament Championship. The 1993 and 1994 teams advanced to the NCAA Regional with the 1993 team earning only the second at-large berth in the history of the BIG EAST Conference. In Penders’ four-year playing career, his teams tallied a record of 99-76-2. After graduating, Penders moved to Washington D.C. where he was a fundraiser for Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa. Penders returned to UConn in 1997 to become an assistant coach and take over the Husky recruiting efforts. Since he took over as head coach at UConn, Penders has compiled an overall record of 320-211-4.

The UConn baseball program has had several players, as well as former head coach Andy Baylock, involved with Team USA and USA Baseball. Most recently, current second baseman LJ Mazzilli served as an alternate on the USA Collegiate National Team. George Springer and Matt Barnes played for the USA Collegiate Baseball Team during the 2010 summer. Barnes was 3-0 and held an ERA of 1.42. In 19 innings of work, he allowed three earned runs, while striking out 26 batters, which was second-best on the team. Springer led Team USA with seven doubles and 18 RBI. He batted .292 in 18 games and his grand slam against Japan lifted USA to a 4-2 win to advance to the gold medal game of the V FISU World University Baseball Championship. In the winter of 1999, former Husky and 1988 Olympic Gold Medalist Charles Nagy was named to the 15-member All-Time USA Baseball team. Among other players named to the same team were former major leaguers Nomar Garciaparra, Mark McGwire, Robin Ventura and Will Clark. Husky catcher Brian Esposito trained with the United States Baseball program, joining the squad for USA Baseball tryouts in June of 1999. Former Husky standout Jason Grabowski made two appearances at USA Baseball Camps in 1995, joining the program for USA Baseball tryouts in June and then attending the 1995 Fall Baseball Trials in November in Homestead, Fla. In November of 1994, Grabowski and pitcher Mike Galati joined the long line of Huskies to train or compete with the United States National Baseball program. The pair joined a select group of 72 players invited to participate in the USA Baseball National Fall Trials in Homestead, Fla., from November 2-6, 1994. Connecticut was the only school from the Northeast represented and was one of only 16 Division I schools across the nation to be represented by two or more players. In 1993, former Husky John Kelly was a member of the USA Baseball squad that represented the U.S. in Nicaragua at the Pan-American Qualifier for the 1994 World Championships. Kelly finished his stint with the team with a record of 2-0 and a 2.81 ERA.

Huskies in the Pros
The University of Connecticut baseball program has sent many players on to the professional ranks. In all, a total of 152 players have been drafted by professional clubs or signed free agent contracts. With his Major League debut on August 2, Mike Olt became the 12th Husky to reach the big leagues and continue a streak of 23 straight seasons of having a former UConn player in MLB. Three more Huskies were drafted in 2012, adding to the program’s total of 76 players taken since the draft’s inception in 1965. Right-handed pitcher Scott Oberg and David Fischer were both drafted and signed, while LJ Mazzilli was taken in the ninth round, but opted to return for his senior season in 2012. In the 2011 MLB Amateur Draft, a program-best 10 Walt Dropo Huskies were taken, including George Springer and Matt Barnes in the first round, marking the first time that two UConn players were selected in the first round. Former Husky All-American and 1988 United States Olympic gold medalist Charles Nagy completed 14 full seasons as a starting pitcher with the Cleveland Indians and in 2010 was named the pitching coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 1992, Nagy emerged as one of the bright new pitchers in all of the major leagues. He finished the year with a 17-10 record and a 2.96 ERA. For his efforts, he was named to the American League All-Star team. He pitched one perfect inning in the All-Star game and also collected a hit. He also threw a one-hitter on August 8, 1992, against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. After suffering a shoulder injury in 1993, Nagy made a successful return to the Indians rotation in 1994 and was a major component in the team’s AL Pennant and a visit to the World Series in 1995. The following year, Nagy earned his second trip to the Major League All-Star game and was the starting pitcher for the American League. In 1997, Nagy contributed to the Cleveland Indians’ second visit in three years to the World Series and made an appearance in Game 7 of the series against the Florida Marlins. In 1999, Nagy was selected to his third American League All-Star game and helped pitch Cleveland to another Central Division title. After eight major league seasons primarily as a relief pitcher, Pete Walker began coaching at the minor league level. In the fall of 2011, he was promoted within the Toronto organization and again in 2013 to be the pitching coach for the 2013 Toronto Blue Jays. As a player, Walker spent three and a half seasons in Toronto where he won 10 games in 2002. For his career, he held a 20-14 record and 4.48 ERA in 144 games. One of the most prominent Husky major leaguers was the late Walt Dropo, who played 13 seasons in the majors and was the American League Rookie of the Year in 1950 with the Boston Red Sox. He still holds the major league record for consecutive hits with 12, set during the 1952 season with the Detroit Tigers. Rollie Sheldon was the second Husky to debut in the majors in 1961. He won 11 games as a rookie for the World Series Champion New York Yankees and appeared in two games for the Yankees in the 1964 World Series. Former Husky Bob Schaefer is also a well-known name in major league circles. As a Husky, Schaefer led the nation in home runs in 1966, with seven homers in only 18 games. In 2007, he served as the bench coach for the Oakland Athletics. From 2008 through 2010 he has sat beside Joe Torre as the bench coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Currently he is the special assistant to the General Manager with the Washington Nationals. He previously served as a Major League scout with the Baltimore Orioles, as a special adviser to Atlanta Braves General Manager,
John Schuerholz, as the Director of Player Development for the Boston Red Sox and as a coach with the Kansas City Royals, as he served two stints as interim manager with the club. George Greer was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals after he graduated in 1968 and went on and played in the minors at Single-A Modesto (Calif.) for five years until 1973. Jason Grabowski made his major league debut in 2002 with the Oakland Athletics. Grabowski spent part of the 2004 and 2005 seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2006, Grabowski played for the Orix Buffaloes of Japan. Former Huskies that are in the minor leagues include former major leaguer Brian Esposito (Chicago Cubs), Erik Turgeon (Pittsburgh Pirates), Mike Tarsi (Atlanta Braves), Dan Mahoney (New York Yankees), Nick Ahmed (Arizona Diamondbacks), John Andreoli (Chicago Cubs), Matt Barnes (Boston Red Sox), Elliot Glynn (Milwaukee Brewers), Greg Nappo (Miami Marlins), George Springer (Houston Astros), Kevin Vance (Chicago White Sox), David Fischer (Washington Nationals) and Scott Oberg (Colorado Rockies). Two former Huskies are also playing in the independent leagues. Peter Fatse and Matt McDonald play for ball clubs in the independent leagues.

This is UConn Baseball . . . Now in its third century, the UConn Baseball program is traditionally successful and nationally recognized in NCAA Division I competition. To maintain this degree of excellence, there is a continuous search for the outstanding scholar-athlete who demonstrates the potential to meet the challenge at Storrs. A University of Connecticut player is supplied with the best available equipment, including four different-style uniforms. He plays on an enclosed diamond that is constantly groomed and improved by a full-time grounds crew that keeps the field in the best possible condition at all times. The batting/pitching building adjacent to the field is an absolutely outstanding asset. The travel accommodations throughout the course of the season are always first class, as is every other aspect of the program. Additional support comes from a trainer, team doctor, a consulting optometrist, academic advisor, equipment managers, baseball administration assistants, athletic communications office and statewide media, including campus radio station WHUSFM. In addition to beautiful J.O. Christian Field, excellent facilities for year-round training and development are provided which include the building at J.O. Christian Field, a weight training center, racquetball courts, indoor workout areas, the use of an outdoor Astroturf field and the indoor Mark Shenkman training center for pre-season workouts. Video equipment and sophisticated training devices are used for individual development. When classes begin in August, an all important six-week evaluation-instructioncompetition program is conducted for all UConn baseball candidates. The coaching staff assesses talent, work habits and readiness in determining the 35-player depth chart for the coming spring campaign. A prospective candidate enrolled at Storrs and not competing in a fall sport must be evaluated in the fall to be considered for a spot on the
spring roster. Rookies attend a mandated evening study hall all year long. Throughout the entire year, a weight training, conditioning and nutrition program is conducted along with baseball specific workouts for the athletes. Spring begins in earnest the first week of February for UConn players as they go through several weeks of intensive pre-season training and instruction. The 56-game schedule begins with weekend regional trips, where the Huskies play against outstanding teams from around the country. UConn begins the spring recess with a trip to a warm weather destination and finishes the recess with its first BIG EAST series of the season. After the regular season is completed, there is always a strong possibility that the Huskies will be participating in the eight-team BIG EAST Conference Tournament, the winner representing the BIG EAST Conference in the 64-team NCAA Tournament field. The eight super regional winners from across the United States participate in the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. The cost of attending the University of Connecticut is reasonable. Financial aid is available to families demonstrating need as determined by the Financial Aid Form (FAF) and the Financial Aid Office. Financial aid based on athletic ability is available in accordance with NCAA allowances. The UConn baseball program is designed to develop players in a progressive manner in preparation for Division I competition while never losing sight of the basic priority formal education and a baccalaureate degree. This priority is constantly stressed to the participants and accommodations to meet educational goals are set. The University of Connecticut Baseball program has come a long way in 116 years of preparing young men for competition in the real world with competition on the ballfield.
. . . Passed Down Through the Ages The coaching staff for the 2013 Huskies is a link to many UConn successes in both the recent and not-so-recent past. Head Coach Jim Penders enters his 10th season in charge of the Husky baseball program after playing for four years at Connecticut. The last three years Penders was on the team, the Huskies advanced to the BIG EAST Tournament Championship Game, with the 1994 side capturing the title. Penders was a member of the coaching staff for seven seasons under former Husky head coach Andy Baylock. Baylock retired after serving the baseball program for 39 years including 24 years as the head coach. Baylock got his start as an assistant under former head coach Larry Panciera, who started his coaching career under the legendary J.O. Christian in the 1950’s. The tradition of excellence has been passed from the coaching staff down to the players. And those players have now come back as coaches to help pass the torch to a
new generation of Huskies. Penders is the son of James E. Penders and nephew of Tom Penders, both of whom were leaders of the 1965 Husky squad that went to the College World Series under coach Panciera. Tenth-year assistant coach Chris Podeszwa graduated from UConn in 1993 and played on UConn’s 1990 BIG EAST Championship team and second-year assistant coaches Jeff Hourigan and Josh MacDonald each played for the Huskies under coach Penders. It is a tradition of success that has been passed down through the ages and this season’s edition of the Huskies will look to write a new chapter in the history of Connecticut Baseball. 2013 UConn Baseball | 63

HOME OF THE HUSKIES J.O. Christian Field The University of Connecticut baseball team plays its home games at J.O. Christian Field, one of the finest collegiate baseball facilities in the region. Named for the longtime baseball coach (1936-61) and athletic director (1950-66), J. Orlean Christian, the field’s dimensions, changed for 2008, are currently 337’ down the left field line, 400’ to straight-away centerfield and 325' down the line in right field. Regrading, resurfacing and irrigation of the outfield was completed in the fall of 2001. The infield at J.O. Christian Field is made of Crimson Stone. A new drainage system with electric pumps was installed in 1999. In addition, padded fencing completely surrounds the field and within the perimeter, a crushed stone warning track. There is also a tarpaulin for rain protection.
What's New With UConn Baseball
In January 2012, the University of Connecticut Division of Athletics announced the establishment of “Stadium Enhancement/Construction” funds for baseball, soccer and softball. The purpose of the funds are to upgrade or build new facilities for those sports. The projects are all still in the early planning stages and the full scope of these projects have yet to be determined, but the baseball program did reveal designs for the future home of UConn baseball at its 2012 Preseason Dinner. The University of Connecticut baseball program had a lot to look forward to in the 2008 season. J.O. Christian Field was given a new look in the fall of 2007, as new fencing and stadium padding around the entire field was added. This renovation included two brand new 30-foot foul poles as well as new dimensions to the fencing all around the field. J.O. Christian Field still features permanent bleacher seating behind home plate and along the first and third base lines. Crowds at J.O. Christian Field have been in excess of 2,000 fans. J.O. Christian Field also features a fully electronic scoreboard in right field. A permanent press box along with new and extended bleacher seating were added to the facility before the 1993 season. UConn's batting and pitching facility, which was opened in 1997, has also been given an upgrade as brand new turf and netting was installed in the summer of 2007. Restored team photos and awards have been put on display to highlight past teams and individuals while new professional presentations of professional baseball playing alumni are also showcased around the facility. The 40-foot by 80-foot indoor pitching and batting facility is located adjacent to J.O. Christian Field. The building, heated, well-lit and available for year-round use by Husky players, provides two pitching and batting tunnels with ample space for practicing, working and coaching. In the summer of 2008, an extensive renovation of the Huskies' clubhouse was completed. The Dugout Club funded the project, which consists of open oak stall lockers, new carpeting, a flat screen television and a couch for the enjoyment of the players. Since the 2009 season, both dugouts were enhanced with overhead heat lamps and padded/netted railings. The project also included new permanent bench seating. Both dugouts were doubled in size and made safer for the 2010 campaign. A brand new state-of-the-art scoreboard was also installed prior to the Huskies' home opener in March 2010. In the fall of 2010, a video system was installed at the field, allowing for three different angles of every pitch to be captured by three permanently affixed weather-proof cameras.

UCONN BASEBALL TRAINING & PRACTICE FACILITIES
Husky baseball players are able to work out with UConn’s ProBatter hitting machine. Connecticut was one of the first two intercollegiate programs in the country to have the cutting edge pitching simulator, which has a video screen with a life-size pitcher and can throw seven pitches at various speeds.
ProBatter Professional Baseball System In the winter of 2004, the University of Connecticut became only the second intercollegiate baseball team in the nation to acquire a ProBatter hitting machine. The ProBatter® Professional baseball system is a true-to-life baseball pitching simulator for use at any level. The system includes a video component that permits a hitter to observe the life-size image of an actual pitcher winding up and delivering a pitch which is thrown through the video screen by a computer controlled pitching module. This module is capable of interchangeably creating any pitch (fastball, sinker, cutter, splitter, curve, slider, and change-up) that a pitcher can throw, at speeds up to 100 MPH. Pitch speeds can be varied in increments of two MPH, and thrown to predetermined locations both inside and outside the strike zone with pinpoint accuracy. The ProBatter® Professional baseball system is as close as possible to real-life Major League pitching—its simulated reality and amazing precision can sharpen hitting skills like no pitching machine has ever done. It offers: » “Live” pitcher simulation. A combination of life-sized images of actual pitchers throwing realistic pitches, all integrated through computer controls. In a unique process that is the subject of a number of pending patent applications, the ball is delivered through the screen in perfect synchronization with the video image. » Deliver any pitch at any speed. Pitches include fastballs, sinkers, cutters, curveballs, sliders, changeups and screwballs from both right handed and left handed pitchers in 2 MPH increments to multiple locations both inside and outside the strike zone. a » Incredible accuracy. Pitches are delivered consistently to the desired location within 2 inches. » Full range of pitcher options. On-screen pitchers can be either left handed or right handed and throw from either a full windup or stretch position to simulate actual game conditions. » Ultimate convenience. The ProBatter Professional baseball system is ready whenever you need or want a batting practice session. It throws Major League pitches under game like conditions without ever getting tired. » Manual and automatic modes. Pitch sequencing can be established on either a pitch by pitch basis using an easy touch-screen controller to set pitch type, speed and location. Sequences can also be programmed and stored for future uses. » Specific Pitcher Sequences. A profiling service is available to deliver pitches of actual Major League pitchers. The ProBatter system is not only a tool for hitters, but has been used successfully to train catchers to properly receive and frame pitches, block pitches in the dirt, and work on their throwing footwork. In addition, it has been used to train pitchers how to set up hitters without any arm strain. The ProBatter Professional baseball pitching system was thoroughly tested with two Major League clubs and an elite training academy run by a former Major League manager before its introduction in late 2000. 2013 UConn Baseball | 65

Mark R. Shenkman Training Center Thanks to alumnus Mark R. Shenkman, the University of Connecticut joins the ranks of major universities nationwide with an indoor training facility that is utilized by all Husky teams and also by recreational services. Shenkman’s $2.5 million gift, one of the largest ever to the UConn Division of Athletics, helped to build an intercollegiate, intramural and recreational facility that serves the entire UConn community. The 85,000 square foot Mark R. Shenkman Training Center rivals similar facilities at other large universities. Featuring a 120-yard long synthetic playing surface, an 18,000 square foot strength and conditioning area and state-of-the-art video capabilities, the indoor training center provides UConn’s teams with the most technologically advanced training equipment. The UConn baseball team uses the facility primarily to work on its defensive drills. Thanks to the luxurious spatial confines provided by the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center, the Huskies can recreate a full infield diamond and a good portion of the outfield in order to facilitate their practice needs. The University contracted with the Hartford-based firm of Jeter, Cook and Jepson and with HOK Sport + Venue + Event, an internationally-renowned architectural firm based in Kansas City, to provide architectural and engineering services for the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center. The Mark R. Shenkman Training Center became the University’s first project
certified as meeting the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards for “green” buildings. LEED designation is a process certifying that a building project meets a wide range of environmentally friendly criteria. The new construction marks the first college or university athletic project in the nation to earn the designation. A resident of Greenwich, Conn, Shenkman graduated from the Wilbraham & Monson Academy in Wilbraham, Mass. He received a bachelor’s degree in political science from UConn in 1965 followed by a master’s degree in business administration from The George Washington University. Shenkman is the founder and president of Shenkman Capital Management, Inc., a registered investment advisor with offices in New York City and Stamford, Conn. He has served on the UConn Foundation’s Board of Directors for eight years and has been a member of its investment committee. Shenkman was elected to the UConn School of Business Hall of Fame in 2002 and has endowed a classroom and the e-Commerce Chair for the business school. Groundbreaking for the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center took place in the fall of 2004, with the doors opening in the summer of 2006.
Batting/Pitching Facility
The University of Connecticut baseball program opened the Batting & Pitching Facility in 1997. Located just steps from J.O. Christian Field, the building includes two pitching and batting tunnels, and houses UConn’s ProBatter hitting machine. With such a facility, the Huskies can practice and train year-round.

The BIG EAST Conference has been always been driven by lofty goals. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evidence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 201112 year was no different. In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Georgetown women’s cross country team captured its first NCAA Championship.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered.
