UConn baseball has long taken advantage of transfers to build out its roster, well before the new transfer rule took effect. Pitching coach Josh MacDonald has been traveling into central California for years to add new players.
The new transfer rule, put into place in April of 2021, has allowed UConn to expand its horizons. Enzo Stefanoni from Harvard and Cole Chudoba from Assumption College will both compete for starting pitcher roles, while UConn’s ace from last year, Austin Peterson, is a transfer himself.
The Huskies will be relying on transfers even more in the starting lineup.
