Connor Fennell Pronunciation

Head coach Tim Corbin on Fennell: “Connor has become one of the leaders of our pitching staff. He is an ultra-competitive young man who consistently attacks the strike zone and wants the baseball in any situation. He does not back down and brings a throwback pitching style rooted in toughness and presence. Over the course of the 2025 season, Connor continued to establish himself as a dependable option in meaningful moments, earning increased responsibility within our staff. He leads through his compete level and readiness, his consistency and confidence, and his willingness to do whatever it takes to win. Connor has earned trust through reliability, and he is someone we count on when the game matters most. I love how he has grown in the classroom as well.
