Prior to the 2016 Alumni game on Sunday, Jim Penders and the rest of the coaching staff gave out awards for the 2016 season. Three players from last year’s team received the five awards; Anthony Kay, Ryan Radue and Bryan Daniello.
Anthony Kay was a first round selection by the New York Mets in June’s MLB Draft and was the ace for the Huskies all year in 2016. He won both the Lawrence R. Panciera MVP Award and the James Allen Pitching Award.
His junior season was one of the best by a pitcher in UConn history.
