Former Mount Sinai pitcher JT Caruso has transferred from Miami University to the University of Connecticut.
Caruso, who was a 2023 graduate from Mount Sinai, played for the Hurricanes last season and has now decided to come closer to home and play for the Huskies. The lefthander has a long delivery and his motion reminds scouts of a young Randy Johnson. Caruso's fastball can get into the low 90's and he has an explosive curveball.
The 6'2" 185 pounder finished his freshman season with a 1-1 record over 6.2 innings pitched. He had some control issues with Miami and will rely on the UConn coaching staff to be able to harness his pure stuff, while limiting his free passes.
While at Mount Sinai Caruso was a five-year letterman and was the team captain in final two seasons. He took home three all county honors, was selected as the team MVP twice, and led Mount Sinai to Long Island championship in 2021.
