The broadcast team on NESN yesterday (vs. Northeastern) was talking about Crawford being a top 10 MLB pick and some even said as high as #3. They also said he might've been one of the best hitters (lead Uconn last year in HR/RBI) in CBB this year. But also mentioned he was throwing 100MPH for Team USA before the TJ surgery. Also with how good the surgery is now, he could even throw harder coming back. So it sounds like he could really be a two way guy depending on who drafts him in MLB.This article discusses Reggie Crawford as one of 7 pitchers thought to be 1st round MLB draft picks having to undergo Tommy John surgery. I knew Reggie was high on the MLB draft radar but I thought it was more for his bat than his pitching abilities:
Source: Top pitcher in MLB draft has TJ surgery
Right-hander Dylan Lesko, the top pitching prospect in the 2022 MLB draft out of Buford High School (Georgia), had Tommy John surgery Tuesday, a source told ESPN.www.espn.com
Best comeback win of the year for the HOOK C. After an uncharacteristic sloppy game defensively ( they lead the BE in fielding % too) and being down 7-4 in the ninth, they come back to tie it and then win it in the top of the 10th with an inside the park homerun by speed burner - David Smith (his 2nd HR of the day, his first was a monster blast)Butler is 18-23-1, but 11-6 at home:

You'd hope since they have the 2nd most wins in the country behind TENN. But it's tough to move up because of the BE teams RPI. They have 2 other series left after this week-end, Xavier at home and G-town on the road and are finishing up vs. the top 3. Plus they have a couple of mid week single games vs Bryant and N'eastern who are both around 160 RPI. Pretty much if they want to move up or have a chance to host an NCAA site, they probably can't lose more than 1 or 2 to close out....Also only the top 4 teams make the BE tourney in Ohio.Is the top 10 in store for this team next week? What is UConn's highest ranking ever? Is this team going there?
They've also been moving up in the RPI from the 50's a few weeks ago. Now that they're playing some of the higher ranked teams in the Big East, Huskies are currently #35. Everything in the NCAA baseball seeding, unlike hoops, goes by the RPI, according to Uconn Baseball Coms director, Chris JonesUConn has moved up to #13:
