The first day of 6 a.m.s is complete. We did our strength test and mile test and found some time for conditioning.
Congratulations to Connor Lorenzo for setting a new bench press mark. He hammered out 47 reps of 75% of his body weight. He wipes Vinnie VanAuker, Jon Messina and Josh Melquist (43 reps each) off the top of the chart. When reached for comments, Vinnie texted "Love the off season focus, team has a lot to prove and it sounds like they intend to do so." Josh Melquist texted "It's only because he has short arms." Thanks, Vinnie.
Dan Greco set the pace in the mile with a 5:33. It is tied for the fifth-best all time mark. Josh Greco and Donnie Kirsch finished together in 2010 with the same time.
The players also completed their baseball IQ test. We will review those in the days to come. It was a written test that reviewed NCAA rules and different situations. This is the first time we have done this.
We also worked in some bunting -- today's results were not where they should be. Kenny Johnston (new this semester) was able to get four straight bunts down to cut out some extra conditioning. Good impression for his new teammates.
Connor took home the Hammer today. He turned in an outstanding mile time in addition to his work in the weight room.
