Zach Fogell became the third UConn Husky to be selected in the 2023 MLB First Year Player Draft on Tuesday, as he was selected in the 18th round (No. 538 overall) by the Boston Red Sox. They can sign Fogell to a bonus of up to $150,000 before it counts against their bonus pool. However, a significant signing bonus is unlikely as he is out of collegiate eligibility and has little leverage with which to negotiate.
The Brown transfer spent four years in Providence and one in Storrs, where he joined the Huskies as a graduate transfer. He was one of head coach Jim Penders’ go-to arms, as he tied Caleb Wurster for most appearances in program history, with 36 appearances, contributing 47 2⁄3 innings.
